City of Refuge

In the land of the free

So many are living in chains

All around us is fear

We push and we pull

In our longings for love

Here in the home of the brave

But in the real world right now

You're weary you're weak from the fight

Hope is calling out loud

Your freedom is waiting

Run into the light

Leaving the darkness behind

The city of refuge is open tonight

Come inside, come on inside

A fortress of healing

Where the weary can hide

Come inside, come on inside

Calling the hurting, the broken and bruised

Jesus is waiting for you,

In the city of refuge

Come and rest in this place

'Cause right here is where you belong

it's a shelter of grace

Welcome one, welcome all

The city of refuge is open tonight

Come inside, come on inside

A fortress of healing

Where the weary can hide

Come inside, come on inside

Calling the hurting, the broken and bruised

Jesus is waiting for you,

In the city of refuge

Before another moment passes you by come on in,

Why are you standing outside?

The city of refuge is open tonight

Come inside, come on inside

A fortress of healing

Where the weary can hide

Come inside, come on inside

Calling the hurting, the broken and bruised

Jesus is waiting for you,

In the city of refuge
