Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Hebrews 11:13-16 (ESV)

  13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

I’M JUST A POOR WAYFARING STRANGER

“I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger

A traveler through this world of woe

But there’s no sickness, toil nor danger

In that fair 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 over Jordan

I am just going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me

I know my way is rough and steep

But beauteous fields lie just before me

Where God’s redeemed their vigils keep

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

I’m just a going over home “
