We finally have another Julianne song to share with you! We were a little worried the rain would be too much, but when we got the audio back, it added such a nice touch that fit perfect for the mood of the song.

Our album, Live Sessions, Vol. 04, includes "Wayfaring Stranger" and is dedicated to everyone who traveled to see us this year! Whether you have come to the Branson theater or a show on the road, it has meant so much to us that you want to hear us live. When we walk out on that stage and see your smiling faces, you give us energy and true joy as we perform. We also LOVE getting to meet you and put faces to the names that cross our screens. Thank you for giving your time and resources to see us do our favorite part of our jobs!

We also recorded a twisted version of this song for our album, My Ozark Mountain Home, and it earned the title "Wayfaring Stranger Gets Stranger" from mom!

►LYRICS - Wayfaring Stranger
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, no 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'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
In Christ redeemed, their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I go
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I want to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
Well, I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with all the blood-washed band

I'm going there to see my Savior
I'm going there no more to roam
