EM B7 EM
I'M JUST A POOR WAYFARIN' STRANGER
AM B7
A TRAVELIN' THROUGH THIS WORLD OF WOE
EM B7 EM
AND THERE'S NO SICK - NESS, TOIL NOR DANGER
A-AM EM
IN THAT FAIR LAND TO WHICH I GO
B7
I'M GOING THERE TO SEE MY MOTHER
EM B7
I'M GOING THERE NO MORE TO ROAM
EM B7 EM
I'M JUST A GO - ING OVER JORDAN
A-AM EM
I'M JUST GO - ING OVER HOME
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is steep and rough;
But beauteous fields lie just beyond me
Where souls redeemed their vigil keep.
I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home.
I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
I want to shout Salvation's story
In concert with that bloodwashed band.
I'm going there to meet my Saviour
To sing His praises forevermore
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.
