The Oak Ridge Boys — Sailing Toward Home

I stood upon the sandy banks Looking out across the ocean I watched the ships come safely in To rest beside the shore The friends of those aboard her Were gathered there to meet them It made me long for Heaven Where friends will part no more I'm sailing toward home On the old ship of Zion I see the lights upon the banks Across the misty foam Angels guard my vessel 'Til I'm safe within the harbor Captain guide my ship 'til I get home Mama sailed the seas of life And knew the storms I'd weather She told me of a Savior that would chart my destiny The misty veil has lifted I plainly see the harbor And Mama standing on the bank To smile and welcome me
