Cat. #0925 (MFH #678) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 7, 1969
VERSE 1
I am a poor fair wayworn stranger
While journeying thru this world of woe
Where neither sickness, toil nor danger
Can enter in that bright land in 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
VERSE 2
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough an' steep
Th beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God redeems his vision keep
I'm goin there to see my Mother
She said, she'd meet me when I come
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home
VERSE 3
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
My body will rest beneath th sod
I'll drop th cross of life eternal
Enter in my home with God
I'm going there to see my Saviour
Who shed His precious blood for me
I'm just a going over Jordan
Just a going over home
