Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Lyric

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

Silent One September 25, 2017 at 9:24 AM Sounds like a great song.. I wonder if you have ever been there.. otherwise why the inspiration?

Patricia Cresswell September 24, 2017 at 6:30 PM 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?
