THE DAY GOD YIELDED TO A MAN | Sermon by Brother Rohit Kurien | July 2024 Ireland

1. He brought me out of Egypt, a land of darkest night;
With Pharaoh there as ruler my outlook was not bright.
He laid upon me burdens too much for me to bear,
I groaned and cried for freedom, my soul was in despair.
He brought me out, to bring me in,
Where shall I then His praise begin?
Freedom from sin, Canaan within,
He brought me out to bring me in.
2. He brought me into Canaan a land of peace and rest;
In it I find contentment, such satisfaction blest.
Its fruits grow in abundance pomegranates, corn and wine,
Figs, olives, milk and honey and big grapes on the vine.
3. A land of wondrous plenty, a nation great and grand,
Of fountains deep, and vineyards planted by His own hand.
If willing and obedient, all good things shall ye eat,
For you the Rock has honey and finest of the wheat.
4. “There are giants in that country,” I heard old Satan say,
“They’re great and tall and frightful you’d better stay away.”
But Joshua my leader, said, “with you I will be.”
I gave a shout of triumph, the Canaanites did flee.
5. If you are still in bondage, afraid to sing or shout,
Cross over into Canaan, the foes you’ll put to rout.
For out of heart’s abundance the mouth will overflow,
You’ll testify for Jesus, your life be all aglow.
6. O Christian friends, cross over, and into Canaan go;
His purpose for you plainly, in love He tries to show,
Is not to tarry longer in wilderness and doubt,
But now by faith, cross over, with hallelujahs shout!
