Going To Canaan

We’re leaving out today from the land of the Pharaohs We’re going to a place that was promised to us long ago We’re leaving, leaving today Going to the Promise land We’re leaving, we’re on our way Headed for Canaan We’re leaving behind the hard bondage and chains Four hundred years of tears, slavery, oppression and pain We’re leaving, we’re on our way to the milk and honey land We children of Abraham are headed for Canaan We’re leaving out today from the land of the Pharaohs We’re going to a place that was promised to us long ago Headed for a land well cared, that God prepared We’re going to Canaan We’re leaving, leaving today Headed to the Promise land We’re leaving, we’re on our way Going to Canaan We children of Abraham, we’re headed for Canaan We’re leaving, we’re on our way to the milk and honey land We’re headed to a land well cared that God has prepared We’re going to Canaan, headed to the Promise land We’re leaving, leaving today Headed to the Promise land We’re leaving, we’re on our way Going to Canaan

Sounds like a great song.. I wonder if you have ever been there.. otherwise why the inspiration?

Oh what a joyous song. Filled with hope and promise. I can hear it in my mind. If you record it will you let me know where I might buy a copy?
