Eva Cassidy Warfaring Stranger song lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

while journeying through this world of woe

yet theres no sickness toil nor danger

in that bright land to which i go

Im going there to see my father

im going there no more to roam

im only going over jordan

im 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 gods redeemed their vigils keep

Im going there to see my father

im going there no more to roam

i'm only going over jordan

im only going over home

Im going there oh to see my mother

im going there no more to roam

im only going over jordan

im 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 salvations story

in concert with the blood-washed band

Im going there to see my savior

oh im going there no more to roam

im only going over jordan

im only going over home

Well i'm only going over home

yeah only going over home

i'm only going over home
