16 Horsepower

Im just a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelin through a world of woe
Aint no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which i go
Im goin there to see my father
Said hed meet me when i come
Im only goin over jordan
Im only goin over home
I know dark clouds gonna gather round me
I know my way itll be rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lie just before me
Where gods redeemed did vigils keep
Im goin there to see my loved ones
Gone before me one by one
Im only goin over jordan
Im only goin over home
Ill soon be free from earthly trials
This body rests in the orchards yard
Ill drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to god
Im goin there to see my savior
To dwell with him no more to roar
Im only goin over jordan
Im only goin over home
Im only goin over home
