(Frankie Laine - Bernard Green) I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through a world of woe Where there's no sickness toil or danger In that bright land to which I go. I'm going there to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going 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 going over Jordan I'm only going over home --- Instrumental --- 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 singing on to God. I'm going there to see my Saviour I'll dwell with him and I'll never roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home... |
