Wayfaring Stranger
Journey of Hope: Wayfaring Stranger's Quest for Eternal Home
Lyrics
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
I am a humble traveler, a stranger on a journey
Traveling through this world below
Navigating through the earthly realm
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that distant, radiant land I'm headed to, there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go
Describing the promising and heavenly destination
I'm going there to see my Father
Expressing the intent to reunite with the Father
cnd all my loved ones who've gone on
Anticipating a reunion with departed loved ones
I'm just going over Jordan
Crossing the metaphorical Jordan River, a symbol of transition
I'm just going over home
Heading towards a spiritual home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
Acknowledging challenges ahead, represented by dark clouds
I know my way is hard and steep
Acknowledging the difficulty and steepness of the journey
But beauteous fields arise before me
Envisioning beautiful fields that await, where the redeemed are watchful
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
Describing a hopeful and divine destination
I'm going there to see my Mother
Expressing the desire to see the Mother in the afterlife
She said she'd meet me when I come
Believing in a promised reunion with the Mother
So, I'm just going over Jordan
Reiterating the journey over the metaphorical Jordan
I'm just going over home
Reaffirming the quest for a spiritual home
I'm going there to see my Father
Expressing the intention to see the Father once again
cnd all my loved ones who've gone on
Anticipating a reunion with departed loved ones, echoing earlier sentiments
I'm just going over Jordan
Repeating the metaphor of crossing the Jordan River
I'm just going over home
Reiterating the concept of going over to a spiritual home
I'm just going over Jordan
Repeating the metaphor of going over the Jordan River
I'm just going over home
Affirming the journey towards a spiritual home
