"I am a Pilgrim" click here for lyrics

(Billy Goodman)
I AM A PILGRIM

I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travellin' through this wearisome land
I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
But it's not, it's not made by hand

I got a mother, a sister and a brother
They gone on to that other shore
I am determined to go and see them, dear Lord
And to be with them evermore

I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan
Just to bathe my weary soul
If I could just touch the hem of his garment
Then i would be forever whole

I am a pilgrim, I am a stranger
I'm just a travellin' through your wearisome land
I got a home in that yonder city
And it's not, not made by hand
And it's not, not made by hand, no, no
