By Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver

I'm sailing on life's river of sorrows
Just trying to keep my head above the raging water
I'll keep on praying along the way
Until I land on heavens shore forever to stay

I'll keep on sailing sailing sailing sailing sailing along
Until my lord comes back and takes me to my heavenly home
I'll keep on singing shouting giving praising oh how the heavens will ring
When we gather up in heaven with Christ our king

If you see me sailing won't you follow me
And give your heart and soul to the one who set you free
His loves unending as east to west
Get aboard with me as I sail along to a haven of rest

I'll keep on sailing sailing sailing sailing sailing along
Until my lord comes back and takes me to my heavenly home
I'll keep on singing shouting giving praising oh how the heavens will ring
When we gather up in heaven with Christ our king

I'll keep on sailing sailing sailing sailing sailing along
Until my lord comes back and takes me to my heavenly home
I'll keep on singing shouting giving praising oh how the heavens will ring
When we gather up in heaven with Christ our king
When we gather up in heaven with Christ our king
