Contentment (Canaan Melodies #17)

Song 17 in the Church of the Nazarene's 1914 "Canaan Melodies" hymnal is a ripper! This upbeat song of thankful praise will surely get you in a good mood today, singing "hallelujah, hallelujah, I am walking in His presence satisfied!" The CrossRoad guys join me to really rock it. Be blessed in His name as you listen.

1 I am happy, O so happy at God’s side,
I am walking in His presence, satisfied.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I am walking in His presence, satisfied.

2 I am drinking at the fountain of sweet peace,
While the blessings from my Father never cease.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Blessings from my heav’nly Father never cease. 

3 I will praise Him that He ever made me whole,
Praise Him for His sweet communion with my soul.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Praise Him for His sweet communion with my soul. 

4 He has promised thus to lead us all the way
We’ll encamp in fields elysian some sweet day.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
We’ll encamp in fields elysian some sweet day.

 5 We shall there behold His glory with our eyes,
And enjoy those heights forever—Paradise!
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
We’ll enjoy those heights forever—Paradise!
