Poor Wayfaring Stranger
Peter Hollens

Verse

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

While traveling through this world of woe

But there's nosickness, toil or 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 just a-going over Jordan

I'm just a-going over home


Verse

I know dark clouds will gather round me

I know my way is rough and steep

But golden fields lie out before me

Where God's redeem no more shall weep


Chorus

I'm going there to see my mother

She says she'd meet me when I come

I'm just a-going over Jordan

I'm just a-going over home


Verse

I'll soon be free from earthly trials

My body sleep in the old churchyard

I'll drop the cross of self-denial

And enter in my great reward


Chorus

I'm going, I'm going there to see my Saviour

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just a-going over Jordan

I'm just a-going over home


Bridge

Over home

Over home

I'm just a-going over home
