Song written in 1927 and recorded in Roper, Georgia by
George Sebren and Roper's Mountain Singers

We are on the sea of life
Sailing to a better home
Where the saved of all the earth shall abide
Leaving all our trials here, many pleasures wait us there
When we cross the foam and reach the other side

We are sailing onward, sailing, sailing over the foam
We are talking to the captain as the angry billows hum
Soon, yes soon, we'll reach the harbour and be safely over the tide
We are going onward to the other side

Many millions now abide in that home beyond the tide
Where the ransomed pilgrims wait free from care
There is room on board for all who will hear the captains call
And take ship for heaven's country bright and fair

In my paintings I use Golden Acrylic Paints and stretch canvas. I buy supplies at Dick Blick, Joann Fabrics, and Michaels Crafts.

I am an Art Teacher, Graphic designer and children's book illustrator. I use and Imac computer to mix music (my kid's actually mix their own music in Garage Band) and edit my videos. I use imovie.

Thanks, Mandolin1944, for your kind words. My daughters recorded this song on GarageBand, and it's all done completely by the two of them, except for that little mandolin bridge which is a GarageBand loop. They are beginner students on several bluegrass instruments each.
