  • This project came together relatively quickly, things just feel naturally into place. I’ve been meaning to arrange this tune for a while. I was also peripherally aware of the suggestions for this song that came from you. So thank you for those, I do get around to them :)

    Lyrics:
    I am a poor wayfaring stranger
    Travelling through this world of woe
    There is no sickness, toil or danger
    In that fair land to which I go
    I'm going there to see my mother
    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 hover on me
    I know my pathway is rough and steep
    But golden fields 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'm only going over Jordan
    I'm only going over home
    I'll soon be free from every trial
    This form shell rest beneath the sun
    I'll drop the cross of self-denial
    And enter in that home with God
    I'm going there to meet my saviour
    I'm going there no more to roam
    I'm only going over Jordan
    I'm only going over home

    As one who has traveled through this world of woe for many years and is looking forward to the day I cross the river and meet my savior, this gorgeous arrangement and your singing perfectly capture the pathos of this lost world and my deep, deep longing to be home at last, no more to roam. Beautiful, expressive work as always, Sam. Thank you from the depths of my heart.

    Sam, I have been listening to your arrangements for several years now. I can tell you three things of which I am certain: 1) You have been anointed with a gift unlike no other; 2) Your voice is mellowing so nicely as time passes; and 3) I wish I could do what you do. Thank you.

    I love the vocal variety, from strident to soft, and your effortless range - you reach from high to low registers so seamlessly that it's easy to miss how hard that is to achieve. Wonderful arrangement, it complements wonderfully other, different versions out there, such as the amazing Rhiannon Giddens.

    Summer of 2019 after a difficult season in my life. One year ago I had sent your cover of "Mary, did you know?" to my crush, which had impacted me unlike anything else. It brought us together in such a powerful way. One year later and the most difficult year of my life, I am sending this cover to my now, Husband who is traveling to Canada where I had first sent him your music. It brings tears to my eyes to see everything come full circle. Bless you!

    My Father in Law passed away from covid 19 January 15, 2021. He was a great man, not in the way the world defines greatness. He was a great man bc he loved others before himself. Because he was a faithful man to his family, and his God. He was quiet and unassuming not ever boastful or condescending to me or anyone around him. He was a hard working man and had his priorities in order.
    The day after his passing I needed to be alone to make sense of what was happening to my family.
    I haven't been able to listen to it all the way through without a box of tissues since.
    "I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, I'm traveling through this world of woe."
    Well Dad, you traveled through this world of woe and now you are in the presence of your Savior. We miss you. Thank you for the legacy you left. Love you.
