I feel peace when I hear this beautiful music as I approach the end of my mortal life.

[@audrey5094]

Sharon Belnap You should definitely feel peace. You're approaching our Savior and I know you will be able to rest in his care. God bless you

[@chaywarburton3488]

We'll miss you here Sharon and be excited to reunite there! God be with you, till we meet again.

[@Soulmanifesto]

There is only love. This song shares that. With all the love there is... Rodney

[@thomascorley3059]

I feel peace too

[@lindataylor9408]

One of these songs contains the last words I spoke to my husband before he died and tomorrow would be our anniversary so it was particularly poignant a d a blessing.

[@dacooliest1]

Linda Taylor God bless you Linda. I can’t imagine the emotions you’ve gone through.

[@joshuadimmick2647]

I know what you mean. My wife passed on July 4th of this year. We were married for a little over a year and this song was in one of our favorite movies we saw together. It reached into my heart today. It's a part of our time together.

[@tiffanyatkinson5114]

Very tender ❤

[@joelewis9627]

So beauty! Greetings from Spain! Bendiciones

[@chaywarburton3488]

I am a poor wayfarin' stanger While traveling through this world of woe. Yet there's no sickness, toil no 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 am just going over Jordan I am just going over home. I know dark clouds will gather o'er me I know my way is rough and steep; But yet green pastures lie before me Where God's redeemed no more shall weep I'm going there to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I am just going over Jordan I am just going over home. I'm going there to see my Savior To sings his praise for evermore I'm just a going over Jordan I'm just a going over home I'm just a going over Jordan I'm just a going over home I'm just a going over Jordan Over home.

Beautiful 🙏🏽

[@bcap88]

You are a hero

[@leezurligen227]

I wish I had known this was here. I just finished typing it out! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@paulpaulo151515]

This song helps me morn when I think of my dear mother who has passed. One day I’ll go over to meet her...

[@toddskidmore7768]

As I get older I begin to think of songs I want at my funeral. I first heard this song in 1984 at a funeral for a friend of mine. I knew then it would be at mine the Lord willing. The story it tells is so fitting.

[@Ruby_Villain]

One of the most beautifully introspective songs, ever, tbh

[@leezurligen227]

We’re singing it for my mother’s memorial service this Saturday.

[@jkapata1125]

How grateful I am that God can bless those who despitefully use him. I am grateful that God is merciful and a peace maker-because I need mercy and the world needs peace.

[@janicetehie3839]

Makes me cry every time. As a singer, it is one of my favorite pieces of sacred music.

[@Ruby_Villain]

Ditto, very much so

[@ChloeSpiritual]

I want to join this choir when I get older very professional I’ve been in chorus all my life basically I truly in join music and the feeling it brings to everyone 💕🥲

[@audrey5094]

I really love this song. It's exactly the message I need. It just says that the road to our Heavenly Father's presence is very difficult. True followers of Christ will always find themselves in a battle everyday. Let's éndure our afflictions. They may be mental, physical, emotional or spiritual. Our trials shape us and prepare us to meet Him someday.

[@myrnajunerodriguez3174]

Amen 🙏🏽

[@ken1927cc]

Makes the journey seem pleasant ... joining ones loved ones is appealing ... soon enough

[@brookgrimes2373]

I have heard of many versions of this but this is I mean wow

[@tylerbergreen5785]

this really is the best one in my opinion....that flute...

[@ken1927cc]

Just buried my pup and this make me feel at peace

[@myrnajunerodriguez3174]

I’m so sorry for your loss. May peace be with you always. 🙏🏽 I truly believe our animal companions are tender fur-angels send to us to fill our lives with unconditional love & joy.

[@lynnpakulla3076]

Beautiful, touching, spiritual American Folk song. The words are so timely and so well sung.

[@mollyr.goates8097]

What a beautiful rendition. I love to see the Recorder getting used. It's such a beautiful and underused instrument. I love it. But I might be biased, because I play it too. I get tired of people making fun of it. This is a beautiful song that helps to show how moving they can be when played correctly.

[@Ruby_Villain]

Be proud in your skill and your love for you skill. You add color to this world! 💛

[@vivianf5386]

[@MrAvasser]

Bring peace to my heart.

[@justablokewithabeer7425]

I usually prefer the bluegrass version of the song. But I can easily say this is one of my favorite versions by far.

[@Ruby_Villain]

I feel a deep connection to god when listening to this version, the spirit of it is solemn and invites introspection, which I like when it comes to this song

[@marthacain1468]

I will return to you, for eternal family, my Serpensliber, be strong...the river is so wide & cold

[@joseolivera2218]

Is he using a recorder, penny flute, fife or a regular flute?

[@mollyr.goates8097]

It's a Recorder. I play The recorder as well, and his performance is breathtaking.

[@jamesraddon6013]

Any of you guys have the lyrics to this version of the song in particular? I’ve looked and can only find variations of this one.

[@KizzFaithHurdon]

(Lyrics) I am a poor wayfaring stranger While traveling through this world of woe But there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger In that bright land to which I go I’m going there to meet my father I’m going there no more to roam I’m just a goin’ over Jordan I’m just a goin’ over home I know dark clouds will gather o’er me I know my way is rough and steep But yet green pastures lie before me Where God’s redeemed no more shall weep I’m going there to see my mother She said she’d meet me when I come I’m just a goin’ over Jordan I’m just a goin’ over home I’m going there to see my Savior To sing His praise forevermore I’m just a goin’ over Jordan I’m just a goin’ over home I’m just a goin’ over Jordan I’m just a goin’ over home I’m just a goin’ over Jordan Over home

[@alanpeterson6224]

They sucked the life right out of this song.

[@jeffreymonahan6826]

The original song was written with am even slower tempo so if anything they made it more lively. Do you like any of their work ?
