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.
The Land I’m Now Exploring And Getting Farther In,
And Tenting Toward The Highlands Every Day;
Still Farther From The Lowlands Of Unbelief And Sin,
From Glory Unto Glory All The Way.
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 Victory Life Begin.
