Poor Wayfaring Stranger
by Red Mountain Music

Album: Heaven - EP

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go.

I'm going there to meet my mother
Said she'll meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way will be rough and steep
But beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigil keep

I'm going there to meet my loved ones
Gone on before me one by one.
I'm only going over Jordan.
I'm only going over home.

I'll soon be free of earthly trials
My body rest in the old church yard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And I'll go singing home to God

I'm going there to meet my Savior
Dwell with him and never roam.
I'm only going over Jordan.
I'm only going over home.
