27. I AM BOUND FOR CANAAN
-
Storms do not alarm me,
They sometime must cease,
Trails 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.
-
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.
-
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.
GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
