Adkins, Trace - Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics






I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over to Jordan
I'm only going over home
Yes, Lord

I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over to Jordan
I'm only going over to home
Goin' home now
Oh, somebody show me the way home

  35. R.... D....

    Better that Johnny Cash! Wonderful voice!

  36. S.... C....

    I love the way Trace Adkins sings Wayfarin Stranger. I would like to hear him sing it slower and with less musicians. His voice and an acoustic guitar would suit me fine. I am looking for someone to sing it like that for my funeral.

  37. R.... P....

    This is so beautiful.it a Trace Adkins. Song for sure
    Been blessed to see him in concert.
    He is great
    Lumlum ..

  52. S.... ....

    The very best and most authentic recording ever of this powerful and musically complex piece of music, so often mangled or musically corrupted by other performers. A terrific performance. Kudos to Mr. Adkins and to all the musicians.

  60. m.... ....

    I have listened to this song repeatedly since finding it a few weeks ago, and can't get enough of it! Of course I'm also a BIG Trace Atkins fan, but in my opinion, this is by far the best cover that I've heard thus far! That says a lot for someone who mainly listens to metal, LoL.

  61. D.... D....

    The best version of this song ever love it

  62. S.... T....

    Hope to get my picture taken with this HANDSOME SEXY MAN when I see him on July 7 2018 in Vinton Louisiana at Delta Downs. Love Him Dearly.

    Love his wonderful voice so good. Love him

  66. D.... D....

    Awesome singer

  67. L.... A....

    HE can do this type of music , but where it takes heart he cant stand up to it

  68. B.... S....

    Wow, and wow! A home run over the fence....

  69. d.... w....

    My favorite country artist,he has soul in his music.

  70. B.... E....

    I love this man

  71. B.... S....

    Super job by Trace & company. But check this version out. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dPpCOjZxAo). The recording quality of this other version isn't nearly as good, but the arrangement, rhythm, and execution are superb.

  72. F.... ....

    Still think The Cumberlands version( Bridging the Gap: album) is the best but this is close--very close.

  73. B.... H....

    Trace Adkins is hot love his music is voice is awesome like to see him in concert a total fan

    B.... H....

  74. x.... ....

    Not the biggest fan of Trace's music, ain't heavy enough for me I suppose. But this, however, is one of the best versions of this song, if not the best, that I've heard! Great job! Love it!

  75. K.... B....

    Love this song sweetheart God bless you love you

  76. S.... T....

    He puts his heart and soul into this.

  77. S.... R....

    Wow, I Got Cold Chill's!! ❤

  78. R.... M....

    This song is outstanding! Want to thank Trace for his tribute to Marines in his song "Semper Fi"...Semper Fi to Trace from an old Nam Vet. 1st Bn 13th Marines Third and 1st Marine Division 1969-70.

  79. D.... M....

    That voice, that man. Omg, I love him.

  81. S.... T....

    Love this song. man je is so good
    His voice just really gets too your bones and gives you chills.

  82. J.... B....

    Chet Adkins did an equally good version as did my late friend Moses Hamblin.

  83. d.... a....

    I am just aawed by the capacity of his talent. Singing isn't all he is about

  84. c.... w....

    Like your video on Trace

  85. A.... D....

    Love Trace Adkins voice But I can't figure him out.just know he is a great singer.

  86. G.... R....

    He butchered a classic right there.

  87. J.... K....

    This guy is so overrated

  88. J.... O....

    In general I much prefer old school country"and Bluegrass..But Trace does a fantastic version of this song..He really is a fine representstive of Traditional Country..*****
