What a glad thought some wonderful morning Just to hear Gabriel's
trumpet sound (When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no
more Rising to meet my blessed Redeemer With a glad shout I'll leave
the ground (When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no more
Chorus: When I wake up (some glad morning) To sleep no
more (jewels adorning) Happy I'll be (over in Glory) On
heaven's bright shore (tellin' the story) With the redeemed of all the
ages Praising the One whom I adore (When I wake up) When I wake up
to sleep no more
Glory to God I'll have a new body Raised in the twinkling of an
eye (When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no more Leaving behind
all trouble and sorrow Bound for that city up on high (When I wake
up) When I wake up to sleep no more
Repeat Chorus (x2)
(When I wake up) When I wake up (to sleep no more) to sleep no more (to
sleep no more)

Well ol' Buddah was a man And I'm sure that he meant well But I
pray for his disciples Less they wind up in Hell And I'm sure that
ol' Muhammad Thought he knew the way But it won't be Hare
Krishna We stand before on the Judgment Day
Chorus: 'Cause it won't be ol' Buddah A-that's sittin' on the
throne It won't be Muhammad That's callin' us home It won't be
Hare Krishna That plays that trumpet tune And we're going to see the
Son Not reverend moon
Well I don't hate anybody So please don't get me wrong But there
really is a message In this simple song 'Cause there's only one way:
Jesus If eternal life is your goal The meditation of the
mind Won't save your soul
Repeat Chorus
Well you may call yourself a Baptist And not be born again A
Presbyterian or Methodist And still die in your sins You may even be
Charismatic Shout and dance and jump near the pew But if you hate
your brother You're not one of the chosen few
'Cause it won't be ol' Buddah A-that's sittin' on the throne It
won't be Muhammad That's callin' us home It won't be Hare
Krishna That plays that trumpet tune Let's all live for
Jesus 'Cause he's comin' back real soon
Repeat Chorus
And we're going to see the Son Not reverend moon

every storm, every storm that rages) I'm rich but not from Satan's
wages (rich in love, I'm rich, not from Satan's wages) I'm standing on
the solid rock
Even though He's gone now I don't feel alone now With comfort
came the Spirit of the Lord Now with his hand to guide me From

waiting To free me from my sin

time Waiting patiently in line He was there all the time

new day with Him Is a breath of fresh life And oh what I've
missed He was there patiently waiting in line
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Chorus: I don't know what you came to do but I came to praise the
Lord I don't know what you came to do but I came to praise the Lord
I don't know what you came to do but I came to praise the
Lord Halleluj, Halleluj, Hallelujah!
You can sit around and complain but I came to praise the Lord You

there's an unfinished part But I'll be better just according to His
plan Fashioned by the Master's loving hands

Lyrics:
Sail on When the water gets high Sail on When the winds start
to die Sail on It's just a matter of minutes 'til our ship comes to
get us And we'll all get on it
Chorus: Sail on (sail on) When the water gets high Sail on
(sail on) When the winds start to die Sail on (sail on) It's just
a matter of minutes 'til our ship comes to get us And we'll all get on
it
When we're all born, we sail out to sea Looking for answers
continuously Then when we all find out to Him we belong We watch for
the signs and keep sailin' on
Repeat Chorus
Cast up your sails and let the wind blow Jesus will never let your
ship lose control Just keep your compass set on the Son He'll guide
you safely to his beautiful home
Bridge: We can't afford to throw our lives To the wind (to the
wind, to the wind) Aaah… We've got the Lord in control of our
ship And he'll guide us safely in, he'll guide us in
Repeat Chorus (x3) and fade
Scriptural Reference:
"Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided
that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there."
