I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world below There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger In that bright land, to which I go I'm going there to see my Father And all my loved ones who've gone on I'm just going over Jordan Til heaven comes to makes earth its home I know dark clouds will gather o’er me, I know my pathway’s rough and steep; But golden fields lie out before me, Where weary eyes no more shall weep. I’m going there to see my brothers, They passed before me one by one; I’m just going over Jordan, Til heaven comes to makes earth its home I want to sing salvation's story, In concert with the blood-washed band; I want to wear a crown of glory, When heaven comes to this broken land. I’m going there to see my Saviour, Who shed for me His precious blood; I’m just going over Jordan, Til heaven comes to makes earth its home

What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms, What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms, Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms, Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms.

When my way groweth drear Precious Lord, linger near When my light is almost gone Hear my cry, hear my call Hold my hand lest I fall Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me on Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me home When my work is all done And my race here is run Let me see by the light Thou hast shown That fair city so bright Where the lantern is the light Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me on Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me home

I am weak but Thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong I'll be satisfied as long As I walk let me walk close to Thee Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it Jesus is my plea Daily walking close to Thee Let it be dear Lord let it be When my feeble life is o'er Time for me shall be no more Guide me gently safely o'er To Thy kingdom shore to Thy shore Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it Jesus is my plea Daily walking close to Thee Let it be dear Lord let it be

What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear And what a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer Oh, what peace we often forfeit Oh, what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art And when I think of God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow with humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art

I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; No turning back, no turning back. Tho' none go with me, I still will follow, Tho' none go with me I still will follow, Tho' none go with me, I still will follow; No turning back, no turning back. My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus; My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus, My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus; No turning back, No turning back. The world behind me, the cross before me, The world behind me, the cross before me; The world behind me, the cross before me; No turning back, no turning back.

about

I recorded these old gospel songs alone, for the benefit of my own sanity, while quarantined at home during the early months of the Covid-19 outbreak of 2020.

I've since decided to share them here with anyone who may be interested. I hope these songs help you find comfort in the midst of turbulent times.

I believe these songs serve as a reminder that our true hope is in Jesus - He is the source of the love, peace, and joy we all desire.
