[Verse 1]
There's 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 waters' so deep on the river of Jordan
And the light shines so bright from heaven above
And the midnight is past a new day is dawning in heaven on high
Oh the great ship will anchor in the harbor of love

[Verse 2]
If 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 all your friends in heaven some day

[Chorus]
Oh the waters' so deep on the river of Jordan
And the light shines so bright from heaven above
And the midnight is past a new day is dawning in heaven on high
Oh the great ship will anchor in the harbor of love
