Lyrics for I Am A Pilgrim

I am a pilgrim and a stranger Travelling through this wearisome land I've got a home in that yonder City (good Lord) And it's not not made by hand I got a mother, got a sister and a brother Who have gone this way before I am determined to go and see them, (good Lord) Over on that other shore I am a pilgrim and a stranger Travelling through this wearisome land I've got a home in that yonder city (good Lord) And it's not not made by hand Now I'm goin' down to that river of Jordan Just to bathe my wearisome soul If I can just touch the hem of His garment, (good Lord) Then I know he'll take me home I am a pilgrim and a stranger Travelling through this wearisome land I've got a home in that yonder city (good Lord) And it's not not made by hand
