I'm Just a poor wayfaring stranger
DmAm
traveling through this world of woe;
Am
But there's no pain toil or danger
DmEmAm
In that fair land where I will go;
FC
I'm going there to see my father
FEmE
I'm going there no more to roam;
Am
I am going over Jordan
DmEmAm
I'm going home I'm going home.
Verse 2Am
I know dark clouds will gather round me
DmAm
I know my way is dark and steep;
Am
But there's a green field over yonder
DmEmAm
where Gods redeemed their virgils keep;
FC
I'm going home to see my mother
FEmE
she said she'd meet me when I come;
Am
I am going over Jordan
DmEmAm
I'm going home I'm going home.
Verse 3Am
I'll soon be free of every trial
DmAm
this form shall rest beneath the sod;
Am
I'll drop the cross of self denial
DmEmAm
and enter in that home with God;
FC
I'm going there to see my savior
FEmE
I'm going home no more to roam;
Am
I am going over Jordan
DmEmAm
I'm going home I'm going home.
DmEmAm
I'm going home ...... I'm goin home.
