Ole' Ship of Zion
I was standing on the banks of the river
Looking out over life's troubled sea
When I saw that ole' ship that was sailing
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see?

Its hull was bent and battered
From the storms of life I could see
Waves were rough but that ole ship kept sailing
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see?

At the stern of the ship stood the captain
I could hear as he called out my name
Get on board it's the ole ship of Zion
It will never pass this way again

As I step on board I'll be leaving
All my sorrows and heartaches behind
I'll be safe with Jesus the captain
Sailing out on the ole ship of Zion.

It's the old ship of zion



and it's built by the hand of the lord
I'm talking about church in the book of revelation
it's built on a rock got a firm foundation.
it's been through the??? the fire.
