Genesis 17:8
"And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee,
the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan,
for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."
You stand in the desert of sin and despair;
You don't know the Savior, His love or His care.
But He stands at the river, and holds out His hand;
Cross over the river to Canaan's fair land.
Chorus
O, won't you cross over to Canaan's fair land;
The Savior is waiting, and He understands.
He'll save you and keep you, so reach out your hand;
Cross over the river to Canaan's fair land.
O, come to the Savior, He's waiting for you;
You stand in the darkness of fear and of gloom.
Cross over the river, step into the light;
O, come to the Savior, He'll conquer your night.
Chorus
O, won't you cross over to Canaan's fair land;
The Savior is waiting, and He understands.
He'll save you and keep you, so reach out your hand;
Cross over the river to Canaan's fair land.
