1. You stand in the desert of sin
and despair;
You don't know the Savior, His love
or His care.
But He stands at the river, and
holds out His hand;
Cross over the river to Canaan's
fair land.
Chorus: O, won't you cross over to
Canaan's fair land;
The Savior is waiting, and He understands.
He'll save you and keep you, so
reach out your hand;
Cross over the river to Canaan's
fair land.
2. O, come to the Savior, He's waiting
for you;
You stand in the darkness of fear
and of gloom.
Cross over the river, step into
the light;
O, come to the Savior, He'll conquer
your night.
