Refugee

Long, long is the way from home
This side of the fall
Dark, dark is the path I’m on
Who will hear my call?

A runaway from justice
Believing I could hide
There’s no covert operation
Under God’s all seeing eye.

I will take refuge in my righteous rock
I will refuge in the cave of your heart
In the tower you build my soul shall sing
My home and hearth will be your sheltering wings
Your city of refuge is where I long to stay
You are the safe place for my wandering soul today.

No longer prone to wander
But prone to long after You
Prone to pursue your presence
United with the faithful and True.

I will take refuge in my righteous rock
I will refuge in the cave of your heart
In the tower you build my soul shall sing
My home and hearth will be your sheltering wings
Your city of refuge is where I long to stay
You are the safe place for my wandering soul today.
