Canaan Bound
By Andrew Peterson
Tab by Jason Smyth

  C            G  Dm7  C
Sarah, take me by my arm
    G             F     C
Tomorrow we are Canaan bound
                         G   Am   F
Where westward sails the golden sun
    C                  G     F
And Hebron's hills are amber crowned

   C                           F
So bid your troubled heart be still
     C                             G
The grass, they say, is soft and green
     Am                       F
The trees are tall and honey-filled
    C               F         G
So, Sarah, come and walk with me

         C                         F
Like the stars across the heavens flung
     C                   G
Like water in the desert sprung
         Am                       F
Like the grains of sand, our many sons
    C               Am     Dm
Oh, Sarah, fair and barren one
         G       C
Come to Canaan, come

    C             G     F   C
I trembled at the voice of God
   G                   F     C
A voice of love and thunder deep
                           G   F
With love He means to save us all
    C               G       F
And Love has chosen you and me

F
Long after we are dead and gone
    C                           G
Four thousand years our tale be sung
    Am                  G       F
How faith compelled and bore us on
    C            G      Dm
How barren Sarah bore a son
   C        G      C
So come to Canaan, come

        Am                      Dm
Where westward sails the golden sun
    C                        G
And Hebron's hills are amber crowned
    Am             G     F
Oh, Sarah, take me by my arm
  C              G      C
Tomorrow we are Canaan Bound
