Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

Artist: Eva Cassidy
Album: Songbird

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While journeying through this world of woe;
And thereâ‚¬â„¢s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go.

Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there to see my Father,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there no more to roam;
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over Jordan,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather â‚¬Ëœround me,
I know my way is rough and steep;
And beautiful fields lie just before me,
Where Godâ‚¬â„¢s redeemed there vigils keep.

Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there to see my Father,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there no more to roam;
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over Jordan,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over home.

<instrumental>

Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there to see my mother,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there no more to roam;
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over Jordan,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over home.

I want to wear that crown of glory,
When I get home to that good land;
Well I want to shout salvationâ‚¬â„¢s story,
In concert with ohh the blood-washed band,

Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there to see my Saviour,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there no more to roam;
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over Jordan,
Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over home.

Well Iâ‚¬â„¢m only go-going over home.
Yeah only go-going over home.
