the line about canaan and egypt. so heres the dealio. these people called the isrealites were in slavery in egypt. they had it really bad. but God rescued them out of it and started them on this journey towards the promised land (canaan) well it took them a WHILE to get there like 50 years or something. and all the way there wandering around in the wilderness they were complaining because they felt so lost and far away from canaan.
the oc superotnes parallel this to the Chrisitian life. the bondage in egypt is like our bondage to sin. Christians are out of bondage but not quite in heaven yet (the promised land) were somewhere in the WILDERNESS! and its easy for us to complain to God "uhhhhhhh we're just running around in circles, where are you taking us do you really know what youre doing??!"
i was surprised when i heard this song that i hadnt realized this parallel before all the times id heard the story. leave it to the supertones.
