Living in Canaan (Canaan Melodies #1)
Written by J. Glenn Gould and Arthur F. Ingler, this is a rich song which celebrates the 'second blessing' of sanctification - salvation to the uttermost.
It calls all believers to leave their sinful wastelands and enter into their own Promised Land by faith!
Great song and a catchy tune, I can't stop singing it since I recorded it.

1. I am praising God for full redemption
Salvation to the uttermost
That brings to all a perfect cleansing
And filling with the Holy Ghost
Refrain:
Praise the Lord I’m living now in Canaan!
Praise the Lord I’m free from inbred sin!
Yes my soul is free from all corruption
The Holy Ghost abides within
2. I remember how I fought the tempter
And tried to hold my vantage ground
But when I gave my struggling over
I trusted Christ and cleansing found
3 It was Christ that sanctified me wholly
Twas He who cleansed away my sin
Destroyed my carnal nature fully
And purified my heart within
4 Canaan now is open to believers
Its milk and wine and fruits are free
By faith now make the final crossing
And all things clearly thou shalt see
