Nathan Evans - Wayfaring Stranger

Copied!

{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
