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
