I am standing on the Jordan Gazing 'cross the stormy tide There I'll rest my every burden 'Til all doubts and fears, doubts and fears subside Oh yes, I can hear the angels singing Well, well, I can see them around the throne Well, I can hear, I hear the saints, child, oh, singing Hallelujah, Hallelujah now, now 'tis done, yes, it is Tell me, how far am I from Canaan? Lord, how far am I from Canaan? Where well, the angels singing and joy bell ringing Well, I wanna know how far am I from Canaan Lord, when I get on home, my Savior I'll join Well, I'll shout, God knows I'm gonna dwell, child Where with the angels singing Well, Lord, I wanna know how far, child, am I from Canaan Well, up there we'll shout Hallelujah Said, up there we'll shout Hallelujah Well, well, well, well I wanna know how far am I from Canaan
