[Chorus]
Take me in your lifeboat, lord
Take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, lord
Take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home

[Verse 1]
Now come brothers and sisters and don't fall asleep
We'll pray night and day or we'll sink in the deep
Fathers and mothers are prayin' so loud
Sayin' Lord won't you take me in your lifeboat

[Chorus]
Take me in your lifeboat, lord
Take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, lord
Take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home

[Verse 2]
Thе clouds are so heavy the winds arе so loud
The thunder's a rollin' and burstin' the clouds
They pray to their shipmates for what they have done
They took the dyin' sinner in their lifeboat
[Chorus x2]
Take me in your lifeboat, lord
Take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, lord
Take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home
