How Far Am I from Canaan |
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 |
