Song lyrics

I'm a poor wayfaring stranger,
Traveling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go.

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam,
I am just going o'er Jordan,
I am just going o'er home.

I know dark clouds will gather o'er me,
I know my way is rough and steep,
But golden fields lie before me
Where the redeemed shall ever sleep.

I'm going home to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come.
I'm only going over Jordan,
I'm only going over home.

Russian lyrics provided by Zarina Kozlov

Я просто бедный нищий странник
Иду по жизни тьма вокруг,
Но нет скорбей и нет страданья
В родной земле куда иду.

Иду домой увидеть маму,
Она сказала будет ждать,
Я просто бедный нищий странник
Иду домой, чтоб отдыхать.

Хоть тучи надо мной сгустились
И полон путь суровых бед,
Я вижу нивы золотые
В земле, где горя больше нет.

[ComputerHelpHawaii]

Great acting too. You notice they're not really together until they look at each other even when they're side by side.

[АллаТатаринова-бч]

Могу бесконечно слушать эту песню.и смотреть. Гениально. Храни вас Господь!

[enchantedapril]

I stumbled across Simon Khorolskiy videos as my husband lay dying from early-onset Alzheimer's and I wanted to play some favorite hymns for him. COVID-19 has caused me to postpone his memorial service, but this song gives me great comfort. He lost his mother when he was just 14. I know she was waiting for him with open arms.

[ЛадаКвіткова]

Ребята, это исполнение просто невероятное! Мурашки и слезы. Ваши голоса будто на арфе души играют. Если учесть, что это народная песня и её трудно перепеть.... то в Вашем исполнении она лучшая!

[ОксанаКовалевич-ир]

Ой, как классно в дуэте!!Потрясающая аранжировка и вокал!! Молодцы!!

[theoriginalt-paine]

I thought it was amazing, then the Russian kicked it, and it got even better, then the orchestral part kicked up, and it got even better, and then came the vocal harmonies. This is just incredible. An American folk song turned into a massive anthemic sound scape. Here's to Russian American friendship.

[АлефтинаГерцена]

Благодарю!ВЫ ОБА ПРЕКРАСНЫ! ХРАНИ ВАС БОГ !

[karisamullen]

That deep voice! Every part of this is GREATNESS!!!

[TheoWilliams-BT]

Thank You Simon for your ministry. From Wisconsin US. I come back to your music repeadedly. I sense the Lord in your work. Thank you very much.

[olgakoch]

Благодарю, Simon, за Ваше служение Богу. Христианские песни и гимны в очень высоком профессиональном звучании и видеообработке. Да благословит Вас Бог!!!

[ctb]

I have heard this sung by many but never as a duet and may I say, this was marvelous.

[summerstardust]

That was beautiful, guys. My mother and father both said they'd meet me when I go over home. Praise the Lord Jesus for saving us all three!

[sortathesame]

Beautiful music, beautiful scenery, beautiful voices.  What more could anyone ask for in this life?

[НеизвестнаяКрамской]

One of my favorite version of this gospel song . Thank you, brothers. 
The lyrics being used are changed to the Johnny Cash version. The original is much more Christian and beautiful.

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world below
There is no sickness, toil, no danger
In that bright world to which I go

I know dark clouds will gather over me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But golden fields here lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more shall weep

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'll soon be free from every trial
And this form will rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in my home with God

I'm going there to see my Savior
Who shed for me His precious blood
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

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 am just going over home

[НаталияЛогунова-ця]

Спасибо вам, с радостью слушаю ваши песни.Благословений вам братья!

[rfmspawnkiller]

You guys just gathered together russian and english talking people together in a lovely community through this video. This is just amazing! ❤

[oliviadavinci]

No one here mentions that the American singer is Chris Rupp who founded the popular acapella group, Home Free. Chris left to do amazing things like this but his brother, Adam still performs with the group. Check them out as well. Beautiful rendition.

[dstewart]

Simply beautiful. One of most moving music video I have ever seen.

[RonRay]

Simon, you have an incredible vocal range! I suspected as much in other songs that I've heard you sing, but in this song, it becomes apparent that three octaves are just a 'playground' for your vocal chords. Wow!

[pastelcarnations]

This was beautiful. You both sounded amazing. Chris Rupp is an amazing singer. I love listening to him sing. Beautiful scenery.
