BOUND FOR CANAAN LAND

Where're you bound ?
Bound for Canaan land

O, you must not lie
You must not steal
You must not take God's name in vain
I'm bound for Canaan land

Your horse is white, your garment is bright
You look like a man of war
Raise up your head with courage bold
For your race is almost run

How you know ?
Jesus told me

Although you see me going so
I'm bound for Canaan land
I have trials here below
I'm bound for Canaan land

Lyr Req: In canaans land + son of man never dies

For the most part, the comments on these posts refer to the song "Canaan's Land" that is in the DigitalTradition.

Bound for Canaan and "I'm On My Way To Canaan's Land" two songs which are different from each other and different from "Canaan's Land".
