The Lifeboat Songtext

The Lifeboat – David Phelps 3: 43
(traditional, arranged by B. Linton)
ALL SING
We're floating down the stream of time, we have not long to stay.
The stormy clouds of darkness will turn to brightest day.
Then let us all take courage for we're not left alone.
The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home.

Then cheer, my brothers cheer, our trials will soon be o'er.
Our loved ones we shall meet, shall meet upon the golden shore.
We're pilgrims and we're strangers here, we're seeking a city to come.
The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home.
SOLO
The life-boat soon is coming by the eye of faith I see.
As she sweeps through the waters to rescue you and me.
And land us safely on the port with friends we love so dear.
"Get ready," cries the Captain, "O look, she's almost here".

ALL SING
Then cheer, my sisters cheer, our trials will soon be o'er.
Our loved ones we shall meet, shall meet upon the golden shore.
We're pilgrims and we're strangers here, we're seeking a city to come.
The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home.
The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home.
