Sailing Toward Home Lyrics & Chords

By Dottie Rambo and Donnie Howard Sumner

(D)I stood upon a (G)sandy bank,

Looking (A)out across the (D)ocean;

I (G)watched the ships come (D)safely in,

To (E)rest beside the (A)shore;

The (D)friends of (A)those (D)aboard her,

Were (G)gathered there to (D)greet them;

It (G)made me long for (D)Heaven,

Where (A)friends will part no (D)more.



Chorus

(D)I'm sailing toward (D)home,

On the (G)old Ship of (D)Zion;

I see the (G)lights (D)upon the bank,

(E)Across the misty (A)foam;

(D)Angels (A)guard my (D)vessel,

'Till I'm (G)safe within the (D)harbor;

(G)Captain guide my (D)ship,

(A)'Till I get (D)home.



Now, Daddy sailed the seas of life,

And knew the storms I'd weather;

He told me of a Savior,

Who could chart my destiny;

Now the misty veil has lifted,

I can plainly see the harbor;

And Daddy standing on the bank,

To smile and welcome me.



Chorus

We're sailing toward home,

On the old Ship of Zion;

I see the lights upon the bank,

Across the misty foam;

Angels guard my vessel,

'Till I'm safe within the harbor;

Captain guide my ship,

'Till I get home.
