Lyrics
Castaway
By Joe Hummer, Mark E. Ellis, Steve Christy and Mick Heath
1. It won't be long until my happy eyes see
That heavenly kingdom where I long to be
That beautiful shore so bright and fair
Will be waiting for me when my ship docks there
The sails unfurled and the sky is clear
The sea is deep but I have no fear
For God is the pilot of my ship today
I'm a blood-bought, Heaven-bound castaway
Chorus
Yes, I'm a castaway on a mercy ship
I'm leaving this world on a glory trip
God pulled up the anchor and I'm off today
I'm a blood-bought, Heaven-bound castaway
2.
I'm going to the land where the angels sing
Where bells of gold on Zion ring
Jesus chartered the course and He knows the way
I'm getting closer every day
A glory wind moves the ship along
And the Holy Spirit makes sure nothing can go wrong
We won't run into any storms today
I'm a blood-bought, Heaven-bound castaway
Chorus
I'm a castaway on a mercy ship
I'm leaving this world on a glory trip
God pulled up the anchor and I'm off today
I'm a blood-bought, Heaven-bound castaway
