G D7 G
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C G
Traveling through this wearisome land
C
I've got a home in that yonder city good Lord
G D7 G
And it's not not made by hand
D7 G
I've got a mother a sister and brother
C G
Who have been this way before
C
I am determined to go and see them good Lord
G D7 G
Over on that other shore
D7 G
I'm going down to that river of Jordan
C G
Just to bath my wearisome soul
C
If I could just touch the hem of His garment good Lord
G D7 G
Then I know He'll take me home
