I’m Living in Cannan Now Songtext
von Bill & Gloria Gaither and their Homecoming Friends

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 living in Canaan now

Living on Canaan′s side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find
My soul is satisfied, no longer blind
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now


Satan may have you bound with fetters strong,
Look up to higher ground it'will not be long
till Christ the Saviour your soul has found
You'll sing this song,
I′m living in Canaan now

Living on Canaan′s side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find
My soul is satisfied, no longer blind
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now

Living on Canaan's side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find
My soul is satisfied...,
(my soul is satisfied!)
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now!
