The Gospel Plowboys - Old Ship Of Zion chords
Start Jamming...
It's not what we want up here, we just want God to have his way.
And I was trying to put some songs in that we didn't do last time,
that God's impressed it on my heart.
I kind of omitted this one, but something's telling me to do it this morning.
We like the acapella numbers, we like old stuff.
This song actually is not as old as I thought it was.
It was written back in the 70s by a man named Conrad Cook.
But I love what it says, we like the old timey stuff, and
this falls in that category that you worship with us this morning.
We try to sing it for you, Old Ship of Zion.
I was standing on the banks of the river,
[B] looking out by troubled sea,
[F#] when I [B] saw an old [F#m] ship that was [B] sailing.
Is that the old ship of Zion [F#] I see?
Its hold was big and battered,
from the storms of life I could see.
The waves were rough, but that old [B] ship was sailing.
Is that the old ship of [F#] Zion I see?
At [B] the stern [C#m]
of the [B] ship was a cactus,
[D#] and I could hear as he called out my [G#]
name.
[B] Get on board, it's the old ship of Zion.
It will never [F#] pass this way
[B] again.
Now as I step on board I'll be leaving
[A] [B] all my troubles and trials behind.
[F#]
I'll be safe with Jesus the [F#] [B] captain.
[B] Sailing out [C] on the old ship of Zion.
Sailing [D#] out on the [F#] old ship [F#] of [G#] Zion.
