LYRICS:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through, this world of woe.
But there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land, to which I go.
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam;
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep;
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed, no more shall weep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come;
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home.

I'll soon be free from earthly trials,
my body sleep in the old church yard,
I'll drop the cross of self denial and enter in my great reward,

I'm going, I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there no more to room,
I'm just a going over jordan.
I'm just a going over home.

Over Home, Over Home.....I'm just a going over home.

Music is so powerful it needs to be used for redeeming work, to lift people's spirits and lift their souls. Hope you find some of this in my music.

    WHO IS SINGING BASS ON THIS?! I have immense appreciation for basses and honestly think they're way too overlooked.

    You clearly haven't sung in a choir before. Because it is very difficult to get a group of people to sing together. You may get it by yourself. But different individuals with other individuals usually equal very difficult pressures and having to deal with the people and make them sound better is a very difficult job

    The Swingle Singers performed this last night at the SING! Toronto Vocal Arts Festival as part of their 50th Anniversary Tour and it absolutely took my breath away! I still have chills. Thanks Peter for making this video happen!
