Living in Canaan Now

Verse 1

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 God, And at His cross did blow, I got salvation thro’ the blood I’m living in Canaan now.

Chorus

I’m living in Canaan now, I’m living in Canaan now; I’m glad to tell, in joy I dwell— I’m living in Canaan now.

Verse 2

A land of peace and plenty, Where milk and honey flow, On which the Lord doth smile, As all who live there know; I do the will of God, He daily shows me how; I stood where good old Joshua stood— I’m living in Canaan now.

Verse 3

A life all reconcil’d; With Jesus in my soul; A heart wash’d in the blood, By Him made fully whole; From death to life divine, His seal upon my brow; He speaks the words, and it is done; The soul receives it now.

Verse 4

This rest to me is giv’n; Then leave the wilderness! You’ll find God’s word is true— You’re able to possess; So put away all things That God does not allow; For if your all to Christ you bring, You’re living in Canaan now.
