C G7 C
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
F C
Traveling through this wearisome land
F
I've got a home in that yonder city good Lord
C G7 C
And it's not not made by hand
G7 C
I've got a mother a sister and brother
F C
Who have been this way before
F
I am determined to go and see them good Lord
C G7 C
Over on that other shore
G7 C
I'm going down to that river of Jordan
F C
Just to bath my wearisome soul
F
If I could just touch the hem of His garment good Lord
C G7 C
Then I know He'll take me home
