[Verse 1]
Am Am
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Dm Am
Traveling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness,
no toil nor danger
Dm E Am
In that bright land to which I go
[Chorus]
C F C
I'm going there to see my father
F C Em7 E
I'm going there no more to roam
Am
I'm just going over Jordan
Dm E Am
I'm just going to my home
[Verse 2]
Am
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
Dm Am
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just beyond me
Dm E Am
Where God's redeemed their vigil keep
[Chorus]
C F C
I'm going there to meet my mother
F C Em7 E
She said she'd meet me when I come
Am
I'm only going over Jordan
Dm E Am
I'm only going to my home
[Verse 3]
Am
I'll soon be free of earthly trials
Dm Am
My body laid beneath the sod
I'll drop this cross of selfdenial
Dm E Am
And I'll go singing home to God
[Chorus]
C F C
I'm going there to meet my Savior
F C Em7 E
To dwell with him and never roam
Am
I'm only going over Jordan
Dm E Am
I'm only going to my home
[Verse 1]
