about

The only song on the album not written by James, this is a traditional number featuring award winning fiddler Allison Granger formerly with Brett Kissel and Gord Bamford.

Although he didn't write it, Logan takes full ownership of this song with an impressive vocal performance and help from his good buddy Adam on slide guitar.

lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world alone
There is no sickness toil, nor danger
In that fair land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones who've gone home
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I know dark clouds will hover over me
I know my path is rough and steep
But golden fields lay out before me
Where weary eyes no more will weep

I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going home, no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self denial
Where God's redeemed their vigles keep

I'm going home to see my savior
Who's spilled his precious blood for me
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home (x3)
