Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics - Singles - Mandy Barnett

I'm just a poor Wayfaring Stranger 

Travelin' through a world of woe 

Where there's no sickness toil or danger 

In that bright land to which I go 

I'm goin' there to see my mother 

She said she'd meet me when I come 

I'm only goin' over Jordan 

I'm only goin' over home 

I know dark clouds are gonna gather 'round me 

I know my way will be rough and steep 

But beautiful fields lie just before me 

Where God's redeemed their vigils keep 

I'm going there to see my loved ones 

Gone on before me one by one 

I'm only goin' over Jordan 

I'm only goin' over home 

I'll soon be free from earthly trials 

This body rest in the old churchyard 

I'll drop this cross of self denial 

Then I'll go singin' on to God 

I'm going there to see my savior 

I'll dwell with Him and I'll never roam 

I'm only goin' over Jordan 

I'm only goin' over home
