GHS 27 Assurance & Confidence
I Am Bound For Canaan
Verse 1
Storms do not alarm me, They sometime must cease, Trials cannot harm me, For I have blessed peace; All I've left behind me, I long for no more, Better things shall find me On Canaan's shore.
Chorus
Let those who will stay in Egypt land, I am bound for Canaan, Where milk and honey flowing, Shall ev'ry need supply; All battles fought and The vict'ry won, Peace and joy my portion, My soul shall rest, On its shore by and by.
Verse 2
Troubles do not fret me, They cannot abide, Tho' they may beset me, In Jesus, I will hide; All the world's commotion About me may roar, There's no stormy ocean On Canaan's shore.
Verse 3
I in grace abiding, Am trying to stay, In the shadow hiding Of Canaan's perfect day; All I trust may fail me, "Twill matter no more, Nothing can assail me On Canaan's shore.
