Testo Poor Wayfaring Stranger Natalie Merchant
Well Iâm going there
To meet my mother
Said sheâd meet me when I come
Iâm only going over Jordan
Iâm only going over home
I know dark clouds
Will gather âround me
I know my way
Will be rough and steep
But beautiful fields lie just before me
Where Godâs redeemed
Their vigils keep
Well Iâm going there
To meet my loved ones
Gone on before me, one by one
Iâm only going over Jordan
Iâm only going over home
Iâll soon be free of earthy trials
My body rest in the old church yard
Iâll drop this cross of self-denial
And iâll go singing home to God
Well Iâm going there
To meet my Savior
Dwell with Him and never roam
Iâm only going over Jordan
Iâm only going over home
