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 CHORUS 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 REPEAT CHORUS Before another moment passes you by come on in, Why are you standing outside? REPEAT CHORUS
