[Verse 1]
|
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
|
While journeying through,
|
This world of woe,
|
Yeah, and there's no sickness,
|
toil nor danger,
|
In that bright land,
|
To which i go.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I'm going there to see my Father,
|
I'm going there,
|
No more to roam,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over jordan,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over home.
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
I know dark clouds,
|
Will gather on me,
|
I know my way,
|
My way is rough and steep,
|
Yeah, and beautiful fields,
|
Lie just before me,
|
And God's redeemed
|
Their vigils keep.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I'm going there to see my Father,
|
I'm going there,
|
No more to roam,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over jordan,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over home.
|
|
I'm going there to see my Mother,
|
I'm going there,
|
No more to roam,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over jordan,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over home.
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
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,
|
All the blood-washed band.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I'm going there to see my Saviour,
|
I'm going there,
|
No more to roam,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over jordan,
|
I'm only go,
|
Going over home,
|
Well, I'm only go,
|
Going over home,
|
Yeah, only....[repeat till fade]
