Scott liked Sam Bush's rendition of Wayfaring Stranger, and learned it. He played it for Steve Smith, who sang the lyrics. The next day, they recorded it for Legacy.
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, travelling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil, nor danger in this bright world to which I go
I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going home no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordon
I'm just going over home
I know dark clouds will hover over me
I know my path is rough and steep
But beautious fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no longer weep
I'll soon be free from all my trials
This form shall rest beneath the clay
I'll drop the cross of Christ's denial
And enter in with Him that day
