How Far Am I From Canaan?

I am standing on the Jordan

Gazing 'cross the stormy tide

There I'll rest my every burden

'Til all doubts and fears, Lord, subside

Oh yes, I can hear the angels singing

I can see, Lord, them around the throne

Well, I can hear, I hear the saints child, oh, singing, hmm

Hallelujah, hallelujah now, now 'tis done, oh yes

Tell me, how far (how far) am I (am I) from Canaan?

Lord, how far (how far) am I (am I) from Canaan?

Well, where the angels singing and joy bell ringing in glory (glory)

Lord, how far (how far) am I (am I) from Canaan?

Lord, over there (over there) we shout (we shout) troubles over (over)

Lord, over there (over there) we shout (we shout) troubles over (over)

Well, where the angels singing and joy bell ringing in glory

Lord, how far (how far) am I (am I) from Canaan?

Lord, up there (up there) I'll meet (I'll meet) my mother

Lord, up there (up there) I'll meet (I'll meet) my mother

Well, where the angels singing and joy bell ringing in glory

Lord, how far (how far) am I (am I) from Canaan?

Lord, when I (when I, yes, when I) get on home (when I, I get home)

My Savior (my Sa-Savior, I'll see), I'll join (I'll join, join with You)

Well, I'll shout, God knows I'm gonna dwell, child

Hey, oh, oh, oh (where the angels singing and joy bell ringing in glory)

Lord, I wanna know how far (how far) am I (am I) from Canaan?
