How Far Am I From Canaan? (Take 3/Alt.)

I am standing on the Jordan
Gazing 'cross the stormy tide
There I'll rest my every burden
'Til all doubts and fears subside

Oh yes, I can hear the angels singing
I can see Lord, them around the throne
Well, I can hear, I hear the saint's child, oh, singing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah now, now 'tis done

Oh yes, tell me, how far am I from Canaan?
Lord, how far am I from Canaan?
Lord well, the angels singing and joy bell ringing and glory
Lord, how far am I from Canaan?

Lord over there we shout troubles over
Lord over there we shout troubles over

Lord well, the angels singing and joy bell ringing and glory
Lord, how far am I from Canaan?

Lord up there I'll meet my mother
Lord up there I'll meet my mother

Lord well, the angels singing and joy bell ringing and glory
Lord, 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
Hey, Lord well, the angels singing and joy bell ringing and glory
Lord, how far am I from Canaan?
