I'm Livin' in Canaan Now
Egypt was once my home, I was a slave.
Helpless in sin did roam, love light did crave,
But when I looked up to Heaven's dome, Christ came to save,
I'm livin' in Canaan now.
Chorus
Livin' on Canaan's side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find.
My soul is satisfied, no longer blind,
Livin' with Jesus up in Canaan right now.
Down in the low lands drear, burdened with sin,
My soul was filled with fear, darkness with-in,
But Christ the Savior to me drew near,
My heart to win.
Chorus
Livin' on Canaan's side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find.
My soul is satisfied, no longer blind,
Livin' with Jesus up in Canaan right now.
Satan may have you bound with fetters strong.
Look up to higher ground, twill not be long,
Till Christ the Saviour your soul has found,
You'll sing this song.
Chorus
Livin' on Canaan's side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find.
My soul is satisfied, no longer blind,
Livin' with Jesus up in Canaan right now.
