Lyrics

I was once in Egypt’s bond­age,
But de­li­ver­ance came to me,
And I’m liv­ing now in Ca­naan,
For the Son hath made me free.

Refrain

I am dwell­ing now in Ca­naan,
Jesus’ blood avails for me;
I am free from con­dem­na­tion,
For the Son hath made me free.

I was once a slave to Sa­tan,
And he worked his will in me,
But I’m bound by sin no long­er,
For the Son hath made me free.

Refrain

Ere I en­tered into Ca­naan,
Inbred sin re­mained in me;
But from it I’ve found a cleans­ing,
For the Son hath made me free.

Refrain

All my fear, all con­dem­na­tion,
All that stood ’twixt God and me,
Praise His name! are left be­hind me
For the Son hath made me free.
