LYRICS
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land.
I got a home in that yonder city,
Good Lord and it's not not made by hand.
I've got a mother, a sister and a brother,
Who have gone this way before.
I am determined to go and see them,
Good Lord, when I'm on that golden shore.
As I go down to the river of Jordan,
Just to bathe my troubled soul.
If I could just touch the hem of his garment,
Good Lord, then I know it made me whole.
