VERSE 1
Db Ab Db
Egypt was once my home, I was a slave,
Db Eb Ab
Helpless in sin, did roam; love life, did play;
Db Ab Db
But when I looked up to heaven's throne, Christ came to stay,
Eb Ab Db
I'm living in Canaan now.
CHORUS
Db Ab Db
Living on Canaan's side, Egypt behind,
Db Eb Ab
Crossed over Jordan, Why? Gladness to find;
Db Ab Db
My soul is satisfied, no longer I am blind,
Eb Ab Db
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now.
VERSE 2
Db Ab Db
Satan may have you bound with fetters strong,
Db Eb Ab
Look up to higher ground, do not be long;
Db Ab Db
'Til Christ the Saviour, your soul is found,
Eb Ab Db
You'll sing this song, "I'm living in Canaan now".
CHORUS x 2
