Peterson, Andrew - Canaan Bound Lyrics






Sarah, take me by my arm
Tomorrow we are Canaan bound
Where westward sails the golden sun
And Hebron's hills are amber crowned

So bid your troubled heart be still
The grass, they say, is soft and green
The trees are tall and honey-filled
So, Sarah, come and walk with me

Like the stars across the heavens flung
Like water in the desert sprung
Like the grains of sand, our many sons
Oh, Sarah, fair and barren one
Come to Canaan, come

I trembled at the voice of God
A voice of love and thunder deep
With love He means to save us all
And love has chosen you and me

Long after we are dead and gone
A thousand years our tale be sung
How faith compelled and bore us on
How barren Sarah bore a son
So come to Canaan, come

Where westward sails the golden sun
And Hebron's hills are amber crowned
Oh, Sarah, take me by my arm
Tomorrow we are Canaan bound

    I love the line "a voice of love and thunder deep". I think we as Christians fail to have a full picture of God when we try to make it love OR thunder.

    I love that line as well 😊😊😊

    Wow! This song has deep meaning. I heard someone sing it in church and hadn't heard it before. Now I find that Andrew Peterson has so many feeling-filled songs which I will share with my family.
