Verse 1CGC
Egypt was once my home, I was a slave,
CDG
Helpless in sin, did roam; love life, did play;
CGC
But when I looked up to heaven's throne, Christ came to stay,
DGC
I'm living in Canaan now.
ChorusCGC
Living on Canaan's side, Egypt behind,
CDG
Crossed over Jordan, Why? Gladness to find;
CGC
My soul is satisfied, no longer I am blind,
DGC
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now.
Verse 2CGC
Satan may have you bound with fetters strong,
CDG
Look up to higher ground, do not be long;
CGC
'Til Christ the Saviour, your soul is found,
DGC
You'll sing this song, "I'm living in Canaan now".
