Here is how the song is used:

The group guide tells the children that they are the sailors and that Jesus is the captain of the boat, and that if the boat sinks, they should be attentive to the life preserver that Jesus throws, which can be for only three or four or two people.

The volunteers sing a verse

I know of a ship that goes on the high seas and on that ship Jesus is the Captain (repeat)
The sailors on that ship go,
Are children redeemed by that captain (repeat)
And the guide tells the children.
The ship is sinking and there is a life preserver for three, the children run to group themselves in three.

And it is sung again.
I know of a ship that sails on the high seas and on that ship Jesus is the Captain (repeat)
The sailors that go on that ship
Are children redeemed by that captain(repeat)
There’s only one life preserver for five and the children run in groups of five.

At the last, the song is sung again
I know of a ship that goes on the high seas and on that ship Jesus is the Captain (repeat)
The sailors who go on that ship
Are children redeemed by that captain (repeat)

says Jesus’ ship is sinking and Jesus’ life preserver is for everyone and all of us with the children unite in a single embrace of love and laughter.
