VERSE 1
I was born in Egypt's bondage
I was bound by sin and strife
I was sure that I would wander
In the wilderness for all of my life
But then I heard God's Spirit saying:
"This desert's not where you should be
There's a land that flows with milk and honey
So pack your bags and follow me!"

I said good, goodbye Egypt
I'm leaving and I'm never coming back again
Goodbye, goodbye Egypt - Hello Canaanland

So listen friend if you're a prisoner
Tired of chains that bind your soul
Believe the Lord will break the fetter
Oh, He wants you to be happy and whole
Just call on Him and He will lead you
Out of your captivity
Into that promised land of plenty
Get up, get going if you want to be be free

And say good, goodbye Egypt
I'm leaving and I'm never coming back again
Goodbye, goodbye Egypt - hello Canaanland
Goodbye, old way of living
Hello, loved and forgiven
Goodbye, death and the grave
Hello heaven, thank God I'm saved!

I say good, goodbye Egypt
I'm leaving and I'm never coming back again
Goodbye, goodbye Egypt
Hello Canaanland
Goodbye Egypt
I'm leaving and I'm never coming back again
Goodbye Egypt - hello, hello, hello, hello hello
Hello----Cannanland
Goodbye Egypt, hello Canaanland!
