There is conviction in their voices; that's what makes this version incredible. Cannot listen to the music and read the words without the tears flowing. This world has wounded my body and mind, but my soul belongs to my God and He promised me a new, perfect, and never dying body in glory.
@@miriamyagud8805 what about others that were enslaved besides africans? Eastern europeans were enslaved by muslims long before the americas were even discovered.
@@rubenmocuta3109 THIS song is a song of enslaved Africans in the USA. it has absolutely NO connection with Eastern European history. Until white America acknowledges their country's history, racism will continue to define its society.
@@miriamyagud8805 there is no "white" america. There is only America. Stop embracing the hatred through racism. Remember the vast majority of African prisoners were sold to europeans and americans by other Africans. Africans captured and sold other Africans. Yeah i know; facts hurt.
I have also walked this year for many years..seem Much happiness yet I saw and still see much Sadness and can't wait for the day I can leave this earth and go to that BETTER place.
Some people think this is some modern song - this is a very very old song and these lyrics are spot on with the old hymn books. This was one of my grandmother's favorite songs and we [all her grandchildren] sang it at her funeral. It was interesting because my younger cousins tho't it originated with the movie Brother Wherefore Art Thou - and just couldn't believe our grandmother would've liked the song. Other groups have "covered" it with different styles - country - bluegrass. For heavens sake people - this isn't a pop song & its not a song about some poor guy wandering around because he has no home - its a song about going to heaven and seeing all your people who've gone on to glory before you... AND your Savior. It's about being done with all the pain and sadness that comes with living. If you're saved... we are "Wayfaring Strangers" here on this earth. The culture that surrounds us is foreign. Clean up your comments - people. This arrangement is done in true Selah style - mournful and worshipful. Sad the brother/sister duo isn't together anymore - their style was different - but the Holy Spirit can speak to your heart through it if you let it. God Bless ya'll!
I agree, I heard this growing up (not this version of course), so it's not really recent or modern. This version by Selah is excellent though. I really really like it.
Thanks Selah ...... always touch the Lords presence every time they sing from their heart being filled with the Spirit of God. God bless you Selah for your faithfulness in ministering Christ.
Can relate as evidenced by the following sentences delineating how we use music to stir up faith. The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy. The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below. That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
I'm an Atheist, convinced and unapologetic, but listening to an inspirational song as beautiful, searing and heart-rending as this one, I come as close as I can to understanding the faith of others.
Amazing. Every time an atheist tosses you folks a bone, you just can't help yourselves...god forbid (LOL) you just simply respond with a grateful, "Hey, thanks for trying to understand us...". Nope, you gotta try to get another convert. Sad. Just sad.
ROBERT CHURCH we don't care if they understand us, we want them to get saved. That's like someone trying to commit suicide telling his parents I get why some people try to live, and the parents just saying "cool". That's not how it works. We're trying to get people saved.
Y'all remember what Jesus said about Pharisees? "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." Matt 23:15 Some things never change.
I've listened to all the versions of this song that I can find, and while some are very good, none move me the way Selah's performance does! When Nicol starts to sing I get chills every time! And the piano is so wonderful. Just a great arrangement!
ive listened to some of the greats tennesse ernie ford johnny cash etc apples and oranges this is hands down the best the piano in all of selahs songs is awesome he deserves some recognition!
thank you..beautifully done...i am a born-again christian...people leaving rude comments are here listening and the mustard seed is planted...great job
No matter what this songs orgins--I believe that all who believe in our precious Saviour can definitely agree with the words of this song---after all we are not of this world--we are only in it--to show Christ to others---Thank God this world is not my home--I am just passing through!!
I have heard many versions of this song. Some better than others. This may not be the best but I still think it was really good. Enjoyed it. I love the song. Selah, Keep up the great work.
I used this song as part of an empowerment technique at the weekend (thanks Alvin!). For that I was thinking of how our band play it (quite bright & bluesy). Was looking at other versions, and this is definitely the best- such passion, and the right words (for me!). Awesome job guys. Thanks for sharing.
Our home is not here on earth but into His Promised Land. What a promise! What man can only imagine, envision with the little we have here and the promise with the Creator. To serve, to be chosen to serve the greatest God can and will give to His children, His creation.
This song is more amazing than words could ever say and the way these guys portray it, is truly a form of art. My hat off to you dear for the way you sing these very special words. This song was sang at my mother's funeral by our pastor whom knew us personally as he was a distant relative, and I will always love this song above any other. I feel blessed 2 have stumbled on this version of it tho. thank you.
Wonderful Selah did not leave anything out of this wonderful old hymn no doubt once sung by some who had every reason to think about a better time. But that isstill true for many today...for those who are hurting...wrap yourself in Jesus...He still...never fails.
I love this song. I've sang it all my life. I'll soon be free from every trials, This form will rest beneath the sod. I'm going there to see my FATHER I'm going there no more to roam. Thanks for posting.
i'v lost my grand parents both of my mom's two of my brother's two of my sister's i don't have much blood family left i cry almost every day wishing that i still had them here with me the only family i have left is my dad and my wife and kid's and grand children. i love you mom i love you mother i love you micheal adam cindy and beth nanny and paw paw
I do enjoy his version,PP.The fact that we can share this edifying conversation(in contrast to the vile personal attacks under his song's site)shows me that you are an appreciative thinker(note I had put "individual(s) self-glory" in parentheses) Oh,and...none taken!Peace out.
No problem with being a fan of good music,PPGlam.Only took exception to "nobody can beat that".If you love this music,you know life is about infinitely MORE than competition and (individual musicians)self-glory. That's all really.The Peace of the Lord be with you,PPGlam. :)
Excellent, I love all the different versions of this song that are out there. Driftwood, and Tennessee Ernie Ford also do excellent versions, along with many others, with many different lyrics. It's just a great old folk tune. I like them all. It will be played when I reach my expiration date, if others have listened to me. Thanks for the upload.
Please let us know the Truth of this Song....realize every day on this earth, it's not forever and not for us WE are just Passing Through...to our Lord Jesus and our REAL Home.AMEN AND HALLELUJAH TO THE FATHER AND KING.
This song, regadless of its uncertain origin, is the most perfect witness to Christ I have ever heard. I get such a blessing each time I hear it...by whom-ever...but especially by Selah.
ALL i can say is WOOOW...people these days try to sing and slur and see who can move their voice the best...but this focuses on feeling the song...and thats what matters to me...WOW agen this song is soooo good
I have fought and tried. He is there, it's all true, I know this as a believer and I got angry and denounced Him, He still didn't let me go, all who read trust in Him. He will not fail
Poor wayfaring stranger is exactly right. We ALL are, if we're in the Lord's camp! Those who live on the other side of the line may have a wide gate to enter! Choose your side! Jesus isn't bad, like us. Sinners, saved by grace.
Thank YOU,AttitudeOfGratitude,for this video and your comments.I apologize to everyone whose toes were stepped on by my defense of this artist's rendition and the SONG itself. I would especially wish to extend an olive branch to WheelOfTime and congratulate her on her tastes in music.Blessings to you all!!
@mermerchar This song, like most songs, can be performed effectively in many different ways. This "production" is fabulous and gives me chills. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, my dear.
I love this song of Faith in The Lord, It is my favorite, and it is the most powerful song I've ever heard. In fact, the first time I heard the song, I nearly cried. What most people don't realize is how old this song actually is, for this song dates back to before World War I. And also, this song is an old song from the UK, particularly Ireland as far as I know. Remember, God loves all, EACH AND EVERY PERSON.
i luv this song i luvluvluv it! omgosh i think that the piano is amazing and that the song is great im hopein that me and my duet partner will sing this 4 a competition! :)
I had to sing this for choir and I had to sing this line with 4 other kids "I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger I'm travelling through this world of woe " in the back grounds with 4 other kids
That is what I like about SELAH, they take a song and change it to something you may not have thought of before. This rendition may be for a different season of ones life such as a victory while another simpler version might be for deep reflection
There is conviction in their voices; that's what makes this version incredible. Cannot listen to the music and read the words without the tears flowing. This world has wounded my body and mind, but my soul belongs to my God and He promised me a new, perfect, and never dying body in glory.

Anyone remember Michael Parks the actor? He sang a beautiful rendition of this song. It was the theme for his TV show Then Came Bronson.
I'm rejoycing in looking forward to going home to see my Savior, my Father, my husband that went ahead already ...
Me too
There are several versions of this song that I love, but this one gives me chills!
me too
It is excellent 🙂

Thanks Selah ...... always touch the Lords presence every time they sing from their heart being filled with the Spirit of God. God bless you Selah for your faithfulness in ministering Christ.
this must everybody hear in each church until the end of life…..
I love this song. We have just started singing it in our church and every time we do, God moves mightily in our service.
these are truely TROUBLED times for ALL of humanity.... Blessed Universe PLEASE show your children some MERCY
TROUBLED is an understatement. More like crazy adults gone wild.
I sang this song at a Choir competition when I was a kid. It's so amazing. Selah is so blessed.
This old hymn remains a favorite, encouraging me in my walk with Christ to eternal rest
Next to Emmy Lou's version this was the best. Really touches your heart. This song WILL be played at my funeral.
Yes, mine too.....perfect words to say goodbye to this sick world. Only Heaven has Peace and True Joy. Hallelujah to my Savior and Lord Jesus!!!

We are leading to sing this song in choir and I love it
- Lyrics - - Wayfaring Stranger - - - I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger - Traveling through this world below - There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger - In that bright land to which I go - I'm going there to see my Father - And all my loved ones who've gone on - I'm just going over Jordan - I'm just going over home - I know dark clouds will gather 'round me - I know my way is hard and steep - But beauteous fields arise 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 - So, I'm just going over Jordan - I'm just going over home - I'm just going over Jordan - I'm just going over home - - - - Songwriters: Traditional - Wayfaring Stranger - lyrics © Public Domain - - - - Song that the soldier sings in the woods - sung by actor Jos Slovick - in the movie - 1917 (2020) - Universal Pictures - song is also briefly in the background of trailer for the movie 1917.
my jr. high chorus is singing this song for our christmas concert!
Beautiful and True words ❤
Poor wayfaring stranger is exactly right. We ALL are, if we're in the Lord's camp! Those who live on the other side of the line may have a wide gate to enter! Choose your side! Jesus isn't bad, like us. Sinners, saved by grace.

amazing song ❤
He always hear our voice, keep your faith in him and he will take you out of your troubles.
I love this song of Faith in The Lord, It is my favorite, and it is the most powerful song I've ever heard. In fact, the first time I heard the song, I nearly cried. What most people don't realize is how old this song actually is, for this song dates back to before World War I. And also, this song is an old song from the UK, particularly Ireland as far as I know. Remember, God loves all, EACH AND EVERY PERSON.
This is a Johny Cash song so....
i luv this song i luvluvluv it! omgosh i think that the piano is amazing and that the song is great im hopein that me and my duet partner will sing this 4 a competition! :)
They play this at my grandmas funeral
I'm here after watching the movie " Romeos " I did not know this song until I saw the movie.
i loveeee this song its so good...i want to sing it...i just love it
this is a great song!!!!!!!!! live it :)
i love this song it just speaks to me
I had to sing this for choir and I had to sing this line with 4 other kids "I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger I'm travelling through this world of woe " in the back grounds with 4 other kids
That is what I like about SELAH, they take a song and change it to something you may not have thought of before. This rendition may be for a different season of ones life such as a victory while another simpler version might be for deep reflection
