I Am A Pilgrim

Cat. #0828 (MFH #298) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 8, 1969

VERSE 1
I am a pilgrim an' a stranger
Travel'n thru this wearsome land
But I have a home, in yonders city
Good Lord, not made with hands

VERSE 2
I have a mother, sister an' a brother
Who have gone on before
Some of these days I'll go an' see them
Good Lord, over on the other shore

VERSE 3
Will, I'm go'in down to th river of Jordan
Just to bathe my weary'ed soul
If I could just touch some of His garments
Good Lord, I know I'd be made whole

VERSE 4
Well, I'm a pilgrim an' a stranger
Travel'n thru this wearsome land
But I've got a home in yonders city
Good Lord, not made with hand
