Lyrics
Take me in your lifeboat, oh
Take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, oh
Take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home
Now come brothers and sisters and don’t fall asleep
We’ll pray night and day or we’ll sink in the deep
Fathers and mothers are praying so well
The Lord won’t you take me in your lifeboat
The clouds are so heavy the winds are so loud
The thunder are rolling and bursting the clouds
They pray to their sinner mates for what they have done
They took the dying sinner in their lifeboatDemo Videos
About This Song
Take Me In Your Lifeboat is a traditional gospel song popularized by the Carter Family in the 1930s and later adopted into the bluegrass repertoire. Its simple three-chord structure and powerful imagery of salvation make it a jam session favorite and an excellent choice for newer players.
