Wayfaring Stranger / Insubordinate Lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through, this world of woe.
But there’s no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land, to which I go.

I’m going there to see my father
I’m going there no more to roam;
I’m just a going over Jordan
I’m just a going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep;
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God’s redeemed, no more shall weep

I’m going there to see my mother
She said she’d meet me when I come;
I’m just a going over this world
I’m just a going over home.

I’ll soon be free from earthly trials,
my body sleep in the old church yard,
I’ll drop the cross of self denial
and enter in my great reward,

I’m going there to see my savior
I’m going there no more to roam,
I’m just a going over Jordan.
I’m just a going over home.
