(Verse 1) Every road I've walked has had its share of bumps and bends Searched for somewhere true to land, where comfort always extends Sometimes the world feels big and cold, a lonely, endless stride But deep inside, my spirit longs for somewhere pure to hide. (Chorus) Oh, guide me to a place, a place where my heart is calm, Where sweet peace surrounds me, a gentle, healing balm. Where I can sleep restfully, with every worry done, No anxious thoughts to haunt me, 'neath the rising sun. A haven built on grace, safe from every storm, A place that I can stroll through, and not feel guarded, safe and warm. Where every smile is real, and every soul is true, A city of refuge, Lord, where love is ever new. (Verse 2) I dream of mornings bathed in light, with gentle, open doors A place where people are excited to see me, and their spirit soars. No need to wear a mask or front, no need for practiced pose Just genuine connection, where sweet understanding grows. (Chorus) Oh, guide me to a place, a place where my heart is calm, Where sweet peace surrounds me, a gentle, healing balm. Where I can sleep restfully, with every worry done, No anxious thoughts to haunt me, 'neath the rising sun. A haven built on grace, safe from every storm, A place that I can stroll through, and not feel guarded, safe and warm. Where every smile is real, and every soul is true, A city of refuge, Lord, where love is ever new. (Bridge) It's more than just a street or town, this place I'm dreaming of It's built on trust and kindness, and the power of His love. A place where I have community, and we help each other Through every joy and sorrow, like true sister and brother. (Chorus) Oh, guide me to a place, a place where my heart is calm, Where sweet peace surrounds me, a gentle, healing balm. Where I can sleep restfully, with every worry done, No anxious thoughts to haunt me, 'neath the rising sun. A haven built on grace, safe from every storm, A place that I can stroll through, and not feel guarded, safe and warm. Where every smile is real, and every soul is true, A city of refuge, Lord, where love is ever new. (Outro) Yes, a city of refuge, where my weary soul can mend, In His perfect, peaceful presence, a true and loving friend. A haven found in grace, where hope will never cease, My heart's at rest forever, in His everlasting peace. (Fade out)
