I am standing on the Jordan
Gazing cross thy stormy tide
There I’ll rest my every burden
Til all doubts and fears, doubts and fears subside
Whoa 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, ooh ooh
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 the joy bell ringing
Well well well well
Well well well well
How far am I from Canaan?
Lord, how far am I from Canaan?
(a cover of Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers version of “How Far Am I From Canaan?” )
