音乐咖啡厅:Eva Cassidy - Wayfaring Stranger

Verse 1
I am a poor wayfaring¹ stranger,
While journeying through,
This world of woe²,
Yeah, and there's no sickness,
toil³ nor danger,
In that bright land,
To which i go.
Chorus
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.
Verse 2
I know dark clouds,
Will gather on me,
I know my way,
My way is rough and steep,
Yeah, and beautiful fields,
Lie just before me,
And God's redeemed⁴
Their vigils keep.
Chorus
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.
I'm going there to see my Mother,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.
Verse 3
I want to wear,
That crown of glory,
When I get home,
To that good land,
Well, I want to shout,
Salvation's story,
In concert with,
All the blood-washed band.
Chorus
I'm going there to see my Saviour⁵,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home,
Well, i'm only go,
Going over home,
Yeah, only...(repeat till fade)...
