Sweet Honey in the Rock

Sweet Honey in the Rock is an all-woman, African-American a cappella ensemble. They are an American Grammy Award-winning (and many times nominated) troupe who express their history as women of color through song, dance, and sign language. They have together worked from four women to the difficult five-part harmony with a sixth member translating with sign language. Although the members have changed over 3 decades, they continue to sing and have helped to produce several children's records as well as those intended for adults. more »

I was standing on the banks of the river 
Looking out over life's troubled sea 
When I saw that ole ship that was sailing 
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see. 

Its hull was bent and battered 
From the storms of life I could see 
Waves were rough but that ole ship kept sailing 
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see. 

At the stern of the ship stood the captain 
I could hear as he called out my name 
Get on board it's the ole ship of Zion 
It will never pass this way again 

As I step on board I'll be leaving 
All my sorrows and heartaches behind 
I'll be safe with Jesus the captain 
Sailing out on the ole ship of Zion.
