Take Refuge From the Road

The road is rough and steep

It's narrow and it's deep

We wonder and we weep

On this peculiar pilgrim way

There is shelter from the storm

Where to  Christ we’ll be conformed

And our life He will transform

When we fall on our knees and pray

Chorus

So lay down your heavy load

All those bad seed that you  sowed

Take the  grace He has bestowed

Come take refuge from the road

On the devil’s detours we limp along

Where each turn we take is wrong

The winds we face are strong

And we need a place to rest

There’s a change must come within

Thus has it ever been

As we leave behind our sin

At His table we are blessed

Bridge

We’ll journey on-till our day is done

Traveling through a wearisome land

We’ll take shelter in the Son

We will rest within God’s hand.

Chorus

So lay down your heavy load

The trouble you’ve borrowed

Take the grace He has bestowed

Come take refuge from the road

Come take refuge from the road

Come take refuge from the road
