Natalie Merchant - Poor Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics
I am a poor wayfaring strangerTravelling through this world of woeBut theres no sickness, toil or dangerIn that bright land to which I goWell Im going thereTo meet my motherSaid shed meet me when I comeIm only going over JordanIm only going over homeI know dark cloudsWill gather round meI know my wayWill be rough and steepBut beautiful fields lie just before meWhere Gods redeemedTheir vigils keepWell Im going thereTo meet my loved onesGone on before me, one by oneIm only going over JordanIm only going over homeIll soon be free of earthy trialsMy body rest in the old church yardIll drop this cross of self-denialAnd ill go singing home to GodWell Im going thereTo meet my SaviorDwell with Him and never roamIm only going over JordanIm only going over home
