The Language of Canaan - 3ABN Worship / Praise Hymn

artist: Nathan Young album: 3ABN Music: Pillars of Our Faith Oh, that I could talk In the language of Canaan I could tell a little of the glory Of a better world Oh, that I could talk In the language of Canaan I could tell a little of the glory Of a better world Where there is no night And the Lamb is the light Where no teardrops fall Oh, heaven, it's not like here at all No, no, no, no Oh, that I could talk In the language of Canaan I could tell a little of the glory Mmm, of a better world The wonderful things the Lord showed me of heaven... ...I cannot describe. I saw there tables of stone... in which the names of the multitude of the redeemed... ...were engraved in letters of gold. After we beheld the glory of the temple, we went out... ...and Jesus left us and went into the city. Soon we heard His lovely voice again, saying, "Come, My people, you have come out of great tribulation, and done My will; suffered for Me; come in to supper, for I Myself will serve you." We shouted, "Alleluia! glory!" and entered into the city. And I saw a table of pure silver; it was many miles in length, yet our eyes could extend over it. I saw the fruit of the tree of life, the manna, almonds, figs, pomegranates, grapes, and many other kinds of fruit. Then Jesus said, "You must go back to Earth again... ...and relate to others what I have revealed to you." Then an angel bore me gently down... ...to this dark world. Sometimes I think I can stay here no longer; all things of earth look so dreary. I feel very lonely here, for I have seen a better land.* Oh, for wings like a dove So that I could fly away I’d sail across the river Jordan Ooh, to a better place Where there's sweet repose And the living water flows And I'll thirst no more Oh, heaven, I long to reach your shore Oh, that I could talk In the language of Canaan I could tell a little of the glory Of a better world I could tell a little of the glory Mmm, of a better world Of a better world Of a better world *Ellen G. White, Early Writings 19.1, paraphrased
