A one way journey the voyage will be
And the fare is paid for you and me,
Jesus died on the cross at Calvary
To ensure safe passage to eternity.

A crew of angels will tend the ship
As Earth's mortal bounds we slip
Sailing on sky ship to golden shore
To dwell in God's Paradise evermore.

The captain is our Lord and Master
That sails us to the hereafter,
An archangel will be at the helm
Steering to God's heavenly realm.

A filled trunk you will not need
As God's breath gives us speed,
Crossing will be as the blink of an eye
To our Promised Land in the sky.

Soon the gangplank will be raised
And we're standing by to be amazed,
Astonishment and wonder are in store
As we sail away from troubled shores.

At journeys end our ship will moor
Just outside Heaven's door
Then pearly gates will swing wide
To welcome new angels inside.
