Lyrics

[Intro]
| E5 - | - - | - - | - - |
| - 

[Verse 1]
       E5
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travellin' through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil,
nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

[Chorus]
          C/G             G
I'm going there to see my Father
          C/G               E5
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
         D          E5
I'm only going over home

[Verse 2]
            Esus2
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
          A5               Esus2
I know my way is rough and steep
           E7sus2
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep

[Chorus]
          C/G           G
I'm going home to see my mother
           C/G                    Em7
And all my loved ones who've gone on 
         E7sus2
I'm only going over Jordan
         D          E7sus2
I'm only going over home  

[Verse 2]
D
E7sus2             E5
      I'll soon be free from every trial
My body sleeps in the churchyard
I'll drop the cross of selfdenial
And enter on my great reward

[Chorus]
          C/G            G
I'm going there to see my Savior
            C/G           E5
To sing His praise forevermore
I'm only going over Jordan
                    E5
I'm only going over home
