Goodbye Egypt (Hello Canaan Land) Lyrics
Words and Music by: Marty Funderburk, Jerry Kelso
"This was the first tenor-bass duet I have heard in a very long time. Tim and I go nose-to-nose on this fun, jazzy tune. What a great time we have!" - (Ernie Haase)
Verse:
I was born in Egypt's bondage
I was bound by sin and strife
I was sure that I would wander
In the wilderness for all my life
But then I heard God's Spirit say
This desert's not where you should be
There's a land that flows with milk and honey
So pack your bags and follow me (I said..)
Chorus:
Goodbye Egypt
I'm leaving and I'm never coming back again
Goodbye Egypt
Hello Canaanland
Verse:
So listen, friend, if you're a prisoner
Tired of chains that bind your soul
Believe the Lord will break the fetters
He wants you to be happy and whole
Just call on Him and He will lead you
Out of your captivity
Into that promised land of plenty
Get up, get going if you want to be free (and say..)
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Goodbye old way of living
Hello loved and forgiven
Goodbye death and the grave
Hello heaven thank God I'm saved
