In Canaan Now

I used to think that Ca­naan

Was some­where up on high

Where I

per­haps

might go

Whene’er I came to die.

But when I came to Je­sus

And at His cross did bow

I got sal­va­tion thro’ the blood

I’m living in Ca­naan now.

Living in Ca­naan now

I’m liv­ing in Ca­naan now;

I’m do­ing well

I’m glad to tell

I’m liv­ing in Ca­naan now.

A land of corn and wine

Where milk and ho­ney flow

On which the Lord doth smile

As all who live there know.

I do the will of God

Because He shows me how

I stand where good and Jo­shua stood

I’m liv­ing in Ca­naan now.

A life at peace with God

With Je­sus in my soul

A heart washed in the blood

By Him made ful­ly whole.

From death to life di­vine

Each dark spot white as snow

He speaks the word

and it is done

I’m liv­ing in Ca­naan now.

This rest

it is for you;

Then leave the wil­der­ness

You’ll find God’s word is true

You’re able to pos­sess

So put away the things

That He doth not al­low;

And if your all to Christ you bring

You’re liv­ing in Ca­naan now.
