Tis Good To Live in Canaan (Canaan Melodies #6)

A country/western classic! The words are very much early holiness movement words, proclaiming how good it is to have left behind the land of unbelief and sin, and live by faith with the blessing full salvation. Hallelujah!

1 I heard God’s voice commanding, “Go up, the land possess,”
And trusting in His grace I followed on;
From Egypt’s cruel bondage and from the wilderness,
From Kadesh into Canaan I have gone.

’Tis good to live in Canaan, where grapes of Eshcol grow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan, where milk and honey flow;
’Tis good to live in Canaan and full salvation know,
I find it’s good to live in Canaan.

2 The land I’m now exploring and getting farther in,
And tenting t’ward the highlands every day;
Still farther from the lowlands of unbelief and sin,
From glory unto glory all the way.

3 This land of peace and plenty is yours by faith to claim;
There’s perfect love and rest from inbred sin;
Its mountain heights possessing through faith in Jesus’ name,
Cross over and the vict’ry life begin.
