I Am A Pilgrim (Traditional) Performer(s): Merle Travis and multiple other artists
I am a pilgrim, and a stranger - travelling through this wearisome land But I've got a home - in that yonder city, Yes Lord! In that house - not made with hands
I'll see my father, mother, sister and brother - when I leave this world of woe And there I'll greet my Lord and Savior - in that land to which I go Dear friends I'll greet - when I cross over, and I reach that distant shore With songs of joy - we'll sing his praises, and there we'll dwell forever more
I'm going down - to the river of Jordan, just to ease my troubled soul If I could touch - but the hem of his garment, I do believe I could be made whole
I am a pilgrim, and a stranger - travelling through this wearisome land But I've got a home - in that yonder city, Yes Lord! In that house - not made with hands
