I am a poor wayfaring stranger
while journeying through this world of woe
yet there�s no sickness toil nor danger
in that bright land 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 over me
i know my way my way is rough and steep
yet beautiful fields lie just before me
and god�s redeemed their vigils keep
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�m going there oh 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 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 the blood-washed band
I�m going there to see my savior
oh i�m going there no more to roam
i�m only going over jordan
i�m only going over home
Well i'm only going over home
yeah only going over home
i'm only going over home
