I am standing on the Jordan
Gazing 'cross the swelling tide
There I'll rest my heavy burden
'Till all doubts and fears Lord subside
I can hear the angels singing
I can see, Lord, them 'round the throne
Well I can hear, I hear the saints, child, oh singing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah now, now 'tis done, oh yes
Tell me...
How far am I from Canaan? 2x
With the angels singing and the joybell ringing
And glory, Lord, How far am I from Canaan?
Lord, over there we'll shout, "Troubles over!" 2x
With the angels singing and the joybell ringing
And glory, Lord, How far am I from Canaan?
Lord, up there I'll need my mother
Lord, when I get on home, my savior I'll join
Well, I'll shout God knows I'm going to dwell
Gazing 'cross the swelling tide
There I'll rest my heavy burden
'Till all doubts and fears Lord subside
I can hear the angels singing
I can see, Lord, them 'round the throne
Well I can hear, I hear the saints, child, oh singing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah now, now 'tis done, oh yes
Tell me...
How far am I from Canaan? 2x
With the angels singing and the joybell ringing
And glory, Lord, How far am I from Canaan?
Lord, over there we'll shout, "Troubles over!" 2x
With the angels singing and the joybell ringing
And glory, Lord, How far am I from Canaan?
Lord, up there I'll need my mother
Lord, when I get on home, my savior I'll join
Well, I'll shout God knows I'm going to dwell
