Wayfaring Stranger

from Storydwelling by Heatherlyn

about

I first learned this song from the splendid Eva Cassidy.

lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
while traveling thru this world of woe;
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, or 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 hang around me.
I know my way is rough and steep.
Yet beautiful fields arise before me,
where God’s redeemed their vigils keep.
I’m going there to see my mother.
I know she'll greet me when I come.
I'm only going over Jordan. I'm 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 salvation’s story
in concert with, oh, the gospel band.
I’m going back to see my savior.
I’m going back no more to roam.
I’m only going over Jordon. I’m only going over home.
I’m only going over home. I’m only going over home.
