I Am a Pilgrim
GI am a piD7lgrim and a strGanger
Traveling through this Cwearisome land
I've got a home in that yondGer city, good Lord
And it's nCot
And it's nGot, not D7made by handG  
I've got a D7mother, a sisGter and brother
Who have been this way bCeforeG  
I am determined to go and see them, Cgood Lord
Over on thGat other D7shoreG  
GI am a piD7lgrim and a strGanger
Traveling through this Cwearisome land
I've got a home in that yondGer city, good Lord
And it's nCot
And it's nGot, not D7made by handG  
I'm going D7down to that rivGer of Jordan
Just to bathe my weaCrisome soulG  
If I could just touch the hem of HiCs garment good Lord
Then I knoGw He'll tD7ake me homeG

I Am a Pilgrim

G D7 G

I am a pilgrim and a stranger

Traveling through this wearisome land

I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

And it's not

G D7 G

And it's not, not made by hand

D7 G

I've got a mother, a sister and brother

C G

Who have been this way before

I am determined to go and see them, good Lord

G D7 G

Over on that other shore

G D7 G

I am a pilgrim and a stranger

Traveling through this wearisome land

I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

And it's not

G D7 G

And it's not, not made by hand

D7 G

I'm going down to that river of Jordan

C G

Just to bathe my wearisome soul

If I could just touch the hem of His garment good Lord

G D7 G

Then I know He'll take me home
