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 side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find
My soul is satisfied, no longer I am blind
Living 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 Savior your soul has found
You'll sing this song
I'm living in Canaan now

Living on Canaan side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find
My soul is satisfied
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now
Living on Canaan side, Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide, gladness to find
My soul is satisfied
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now
