Текст пісні
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
while journeying through this world of woe
yet theres no sickness toil nor danger
in that bright land to which i go
Im going there to see my father
im going there no more to roam
im only going over jordan
im only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather over me
i know my way my way is rough and steep
yet beautiful fields lie just before me
and gods redeemed their vigils keep
Im going there to see my father
im going there no more to roam
i'm only going over jordan
im only going over home
Im going there oh to see my mother
im going there no more to roam
im only going over jordan
im only going over home
I want to wear that crown of glory
when i get home to that good land
well i want to shout salvations story
in concert with the blood-washed band
Im going there to see my savior
oh im going there no more to roam
im only going over jordan
im only going over home
Well i'm only going over home
yeah only going over home
i'm only going over home
