Well, I have good news to bring, [F] and that is [C] what I sing, all my joy with you [G] I'll share.
[C] Well, I'm gonna take a trip [F] on the good old [C] gospel ship and go [G] sailing through [C] the air.
Well, I'm gonna take a trip [F] in the good old [C] gospel ship, I am going far beyond [G] the sky.
[C] Well, I'm gonna shout and [F] sing until [C] the heavens ring as I'm bidding [G] this world [C] goodbye.
Oh, I can scarcely [F] wait and I know [C] I'll be late, for I've spent my time [G] in prayer.
[C] And when my ship comes in, [F] I will leave this [C] world of sin and go [G] sailing through [C] the air.
