[Verse 1]
There is coming a time on the great judgement morning
When the Savior will welcome you home
Will you be prepared for the journey to heaven
On the great ship that carries God's chosen ones home?

[Chorus]
Oh the water's so deep on the river of Jordan
And the light shines so bright from heaven above
And the midnight has passed and a new day is dawnin'
Oh the great ship will anchor in the harbor of love

[Verse 2]
You're wandering in sin away from God's teaching
Won't you ask Him to show you the way?
Fall down on your knees in the chapel next Sunday
And meet with your friends in heaven some day

[Chorus]
Oh the water's so deep on the river of Jordan
And the light shines so bright from heaven above
And the midnight has passed and a new day is dawning
Oh the great ship will anchor in the harbor of love
In the harbor of love
