They couldn't talk to you like a man talks to his friend
But I gotta' do a little talkin' to you
And I've been wading in these waters of doubt
And I've been trying hard just to figure you out
How can I reach the other side
When I can't even swim, though I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
You are my Land of Canaan
You are my ticket across the Jordan
I am the sheep that you couldn't miss
You're my fulfillment of the promise
You will have mercy on whom you will have mercy
But you want that mercy to cover us all
If we could just muster up a little faith
Then that mustard seed would be the end of the law
And how can we be considered your children
When we don't have a history like them, like them, like them
You are my Land of Canaan
You are my ticket across the Jordan
I am the sheep that you couldn't miss
You're my fulfillment of the promise
By the scars of your son, now I'm a chosen one, a chosen one
You are my Land of Canaan
You are my ticket across the Jordan
I am the sheep that you couldn't miss
You're my fulfillment of the promise
