Written By James B. Mackay
I was living down in Egypt,
Afar from Canaan land,
Till the Holy Spirit found me,
And I moved at His command.
Refrain:
I’ve moved, I’ve moved
Over into Canaan land;
I’ve moved, I’ve moved
Over into Canaan, land of milk and honey;
I’ve moved, I’ve moved
Over into Canaan land,
Where love and peace abound,
And no carnal thing is found,
I’ve moved, I’ve moved.
I was living there in bondage
To doubting and despair,
But amid the joys of Canaan
I can walk as free as air.
I am living on God’s bounty,
My needs are all supplied;
With His manna, milk, and honey,
I am fully satisfied.
In this land of peace and plenty
My soul will ever stay;
I have moved from darkest Egypt,
To return no more that way.
