Lyrics
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, nor toil, nor danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But peaceful fields lie just beyond me
Where souls redeemed their vigil keep
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I wanna wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
And I wanna shout salvation's story
In concert with that blood washed band
I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm only going over home
I'm only going over home
