Good Song

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
While travelling through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright world to which I go

I’m going there to see my father
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather ‘round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep

I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
I want to shout Salvation’s story
In concert with that blood-washed hand

I’m going there to see my Savior
To sing his praise forever more
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
