I am a p oor wayf aring s tranger
While journeying t hrough this world of w oe
Yet there's no s ickness t oil nor d anger
In that bright l and t o which I go
I'm going t here to see my f ather
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only g oing going over J ordan
I'm only g oing going over ho me
I know dark c louds will g ather o 'er me
I know my w ay my way is rough and s teep
Yeah and beautiful f ields lie j ust bef ore me
In God's red eemin g their vigils ke ep
I'm going t here to see my f ather
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only g oing going o ver J ordan
I'm only g oing over ho me
I'm going t here oh to see my m other
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only g oing going over J ordan
I'm only g oing going over ho me
I want to w ear that crow n of g lory
When I get h ome to that good l and
When I want to s hout salva tion's s tory
In concert w ith o h the bloodwashed ba nd
I'm going t here to see my S aviour
Oh I'm going t here no more to r oam
I'm only g oing going o ver J ordan
I'm only g oing going over ho me
Well I'm only g oing going o ver J ordan
Yeah I'm only g oing going over ho me
