[Verse 1]
There's comin' a time on the great judgment mornin'
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 (Oh, the water's so deep) on the river of Jordan (On the river of Jordan)
And the light shines so bright (And the light shines so bright) from Heaven above (From Heaven above)
And the midnight has passed (And the midnight has passed), a new day is dawning (In Heaven on high)
Oh, the great ship will an- (Oh, the great ship will anchor) in the harbor of love

[Verse 2]
If you're wanderin' in sin away from God's teachin'
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 someday

[Chorus]
Oh, the water's so deep (Oh, the water's so deep) on the river of Jordan (On the river of Jordan)
And the light shines bright (And the light shines so bright) from Heaven above (From Heaven above)
And the midnight has passed (And the midnight has passed), a new day is dawning (In Heaven on high)
Oh, the great ship will an- (Oh, the great ship will anchor) in the harbor of love
