28. I’M LIVING IN CANAAN
-
All that drew me I have left behind
Here in Canaan better joys I find;
Peace abiding, blessings unconfined,
For I’m living in Canaan now.
Chorus:
I am living in Canaan now,
Where the showers of blessing abound,
Where the riches of grace in plenty are found,
I am living in Canaan now.
-
Safe abiding I will never fear;
For my Saviour ever will be near;
When I call Him He will always hear;
For I’m living in Canaan now.
-
I am drinking from a ceaseless well;
Here in Canaan where I love to dwell,
So to others I am glad to tell,
That I’m living in Canaan now
-
Praises ever I am glad to bring
Unto Jesus, my Redeemer King,
For His mercies I will shout and sing,
For I’m living in Canaan now.
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)
