My acoustic fingerstyle arrangement of "Wayfaring Stranger". Let me know what you think!

The arrangement was inspired by two versions:

1. Jerry Reed's version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go81NohknBo
2. "Peter Hollens" with the "Swingle Singers" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaJ3adMgsbY

Recorded with a Rode nt2a condenser mic and the taylor expression system.
Guitar: Taylor 312ce


Lyrics:
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother/father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet golden fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
I'm going there to see my father/mother
S/he said he'd/she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with the blood-washed band

I'm going there to meet my Saviour
To sing his praise forever more
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home
