Thanks for listening and please download this EP at https://stevepalmermusic.bandcamp.com/ WAYFARING STRANGER (Traditional, new arrangement by Stephen Hardy Palmer) I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this wearisome land And there’s no sickness, no toil or danger In that bright land to where I’m bound Going there to see my Father Going there no more to roam I’m only going over Jordan Going there to my new home I know dark clouds, they’ll gather o’er me I know the way is rough and steep But beauteous fields lie just before me Where God’s redeemed their vigils keep Going there to see my Mother She said she’d meet me when I come I’m only going over Jordan Going there to my new home Going there to meet my Savior Going there no more to roam I’m only going over Jordan Going there to my new home

Cara Luft provides beautiful Clawhammer Banjo accompaniment to my down home story. It's all about hitting the hay in a rustic Hotel and being woken by some gentle banjo strumming down the hall. This is a Lyric version by request. www.spmusic.ca
