The Way to Canaan

1 Jesus, my all to heav’n is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I’ll pursue
The narrow way till Him I view.

Chorus:
I’m on my journey home to the new Jerusalem,
I’m on my journey home to the new Jerusalem,
So fare you well, So fare you well,
So fare you well, I am going home.

2 The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The King’s highway of holiness
I’ll go, for all His paths are peace. [Chorus]

3 This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief a burden long has been,
Because I was not saved from sin. [Chorus]

4 Then will I tell to sinners ’round,
What a dear Savior I have found;
I’ll point to Thy redeeming blood,
And say, “Behold the way to God.” [Chorus]

5 Lo! glad I come, and Thou, blest Lamb,
Shalt take me to Thee, whose I am;
Nothing but sin have I to give,
Nothing but love shall I receive. [Chorus]
