Verse
C#m
I'm Just a poor wayfaring stranger

traveling through this world of woe;

But there's no pain toil or danger
F#m G#m C#m
In that fair land where I will go;
A E
I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam;
C#m
I am going over Jordan
F#m G#m C#m
I'm going home I'm going home.

C#m
I know dark clouds will gather round me
F#m C#m
I know my way is dark and steep;
C#m
But there's a green field over yonder
F#m G#m C#m
where Gods redeemed their virgils keep;
A E
I'm going home to see my mother
A G#m G#
she said she'd meet me when I come;
C#m
I am going over Jordan
F#m G#m C#m
I'm going home I'm going home.
[Verse 3]
C#m
I'll soon be free of every trial
F#m C#m
this form shall rest beneath the sod;
C#m
I'll drop the cross of self denial
F#m G#m C#m
and enter in that home with God;
A E
I'm going there to see my savior
A G#m G#
I'm going home no more to roam;
C#m
I am going over Jordan
F#m G#m C#m
I'm going home I'm going home.

I'm going home ...... I'm goin home.
