Nathan Evans - Wayfaring Stranger

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1968384
★ Verse 1 ★
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
And there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go

★ Chorus ★
And I'm going there to see my mother
And I'm going there no more to roam
And I'm only going over Jordan
And I'm only going over home now

★ Verse 2 ★
And I know dark clouds, will gather me
And I know my way is rough and steep

★ Chorus ★
And I'm going there to see my mother
And I'm going there no more to roam
And I'm only going over Jordan
And I'm only going over home now
