The Williams Brothers - A Ship Like Mine Lyrics

[Soloist:] A A A
There was this watchman who worked on a ship yard
His job was to lookout from the watch tower and communicate
and locate the ships out on the sea
Then notify the other employees, so they can be prepared to unload when the ships came sailing to shore
Well_ one evening he fell asleep up in the watch tower
And while he was sleep he had a dream and in his dream God saved him and filled him with the Holy Ghost
When he awakened he knew, that he was a changed man
Kind of being happy he rushed down to tell his boss,
He said, "boss man another ship, just came in",
The boss man said well, why didn't you notify somebody about it
He looked at him and said,
I'm talking about my SHIP!!, ship of salvation
He said, "I want you to do me a favor"

[Soloist:] Said go tell all of my friends that my ship just came sailing in
[Choir:] all of my friends that my ship just came sailing in
[Soloist:] It came
[Choir:] filled with the Holy Ghost
[Soloist:] It came
[Choir:] filled with joy divine
