A traditional gospel song, that describes a Christian walking the narrow way with the Lord Jesus Christ. Suffering for faith is expected, however the song's protagonist looks forward to a time when persecution in this world will end and the faithful believer will be reunited with God. The song "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" is of unknown origin, however some argue it's roots are derived from the folk songs of pioneering Irish settlers, others say it sprang from the spirituals of former African slaves. The melody is haunting and a real discovery. Listen to the MP3 below and judge for yourself.

"WAYFARING STRANGER"I am a poor, wayfaring strangerWandering through this land of woeYet there's no sickness, toil or dangerIn that bright land to which I goI'm going home to meet my motherShe said she'll meet me when I comeI'm only going over JordanI'm only going over homeI'll soon be free of every trialMy body rests in the old graveyardI'll drop my cross of self denialAnd enter on my great rewardI'm going home to meet my fatherI'm going there no more to roamI'm only going over JordanI'm only going over homeI want to wear the crown of gloryWhen I get home to that good landI want to shout salvation's gloryIn concert with the blood washed bandI'm going there to meet my saviorTo sing his praise forever moreI'm only going over JordanI'm only going over homeLyrics of Poor Wayfaring Stranger are by an unknown writer.
