OLD SHIP OF ZION

She's a big old ship,
And she's sitting mighty low in the water
"Cause she's been on her maiden voyage
Every since the day
The blood of Calvary bought her.
She's weathered violent storms
Some passengers jumped overboard and drowned
But she's not just some Titanic
She's the church and she ain't goin' down

Chorus:
Sail on old ship of Zion
Brave what lurks in the cold dark night
Sail on Old ship of Zion
Till you see that beacon light
Sail on old ship of Zion
He's on board and you're not alone
Sail on till you hear the captain say
"Land's in sight, you've made it home."

This ship was launched from a hill outside Jerusalem
Caught a brand new gust of wind
When she breezed through the upper room
Rode out a storm with a jail cell song at midnight
What makes you think she's gonna sink
In some modern day typhoon?
Cho.

Sail on old ship of Zion (3 times)
He's on board
I can't wait to hear the captain say
"Church, you've made it home."
