Judee Sill The Good Ship Omega
[Verse 1]
Well I hear the last ship's leaving mighty soon
The Omega is her name
She will rescue poor sailors who have floundered here so long
And she'll bear them o'er the raging main
'Til the leaves fairly burst with joyful strain
Because the last one comes home to praise His name
Burn each old house down with your merciful flame
Won't you burn out all the sin and pain
'Til every cornerstone sings the glad refrain
To see new Canaan arise from what remains
[Verse 2]
Now I hear the last call sounding in the wind
And it touched my faithless brow
Like the cool balm of Gilead that can heal the sickest soul
He can ransom those already sold
He will buy back the chains and make us whole
Until the last ship is safely in the fold
Light each deception so we'll see what went wrong
Kindly lead us, we've been gone so long
To the bosom of Abraham and on
To see a new Earth and Heaven finally dawn
[Outro]
When the final rapture's ringing in our ears
And the scales fall from our eyes
What a blessed reunion when each fool will wear a crown
Let His promise to the last resound
'Til every doubting eye sees the lost get found
Upon the good ship Omega, Alpha bound
Upon the good ship Omega, Alpha bound
