I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
And I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

I got a mother, sister and a brother
Who have been this, this way before
But I'm determined to go and see them
Over on that other shore
Sing it
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
And I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

Play it
Play that one more time
I'm going down to thet river of Jordan
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
And if I could touch the hem of His garment
Then I know he'll take me home
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
And I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

Yeah
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
And I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

Good Lord, not made my hand
Good Lord, not made my hand
Good Lord, not made my hand
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
