Sailing Toward Home

	  		 
I (D)stood upon a (G)sandy bank 
Looking (A7)out upon the (D)ocean 
I (G)watched the ships come (D)safely in 
To (E)rest upon the (A)shore(A7) 
The (D)friends of (A7)those a(D)board her 
Were (G)gathered (A7)there to (D)greet them 
It (G)made me long for(D) heaven 
Where (A7)friends will part no (D)more (G)(D) 
 
I'm (D)sailing toward (D7)home 
On the (G)old ship of (D)Zion 
I (G)see the lights up(D)on the bank 
A(E)cross the misty (A7)foam 
(D)Angels (G)guide my (D)vessel 
'Til I'm (G)safe with(A7)in the (D)harbor 
(G)Captain guide my (A)ship 'til I get (D)home(G) (D) 
 
Now (D)daddy sailed the (G)seas of life 
He (A7)knew the storms I'd (D)weather 
He (G)told me of a (D)savior who could(E)chart my desti(A)ny 
The (D)misty veil has (D7)lifted 
And I can (G)plainly (A7)see the (D)harbor 
And (G)daddy's standing (D)on the bank 
To (A)smile and welcome (D)me 
 
I'm (D)sailing toward (D7)home 
On the (G)old ship of (D)Zion 
I (G)see the lights up(D)on the bank 
A(E)cross the misty (A)foam 
(D)Angels (G)guide my (D)vessel 
'Til I'm (G)safe with(A7)in the (D)harbor 
(G)Captain guide my (A)ship 'til I get(D) home 
 
Oh (G)Captain guide my (A)ship 'til I get (D)home
