01. Refuge Tonight

Goodbye Scarlet
by Once By Fire

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
Come, morning breeze
To the westward side
Here am I
With the lost and bleeding again
Always wounded at my own hands
And I don’t know why…
Oh, Lord, I don’t know why

PRE-CHORUS
Will You take me from this broken place
And place me on the rock again?
Only You can reach me now
When the fever breaks
And I am breaking
Lord, beneath this cold regret
Only You can save me now

CHORUS
Calling, I’m calling out
Lord, be a refuge tonight…
Remind me, the war isn’t mine
I’m down, but not out
And You won’t let me out of Your sight
No, not for a little while
Darling, keep your eyes on the prize
Head up, hold it high
Walk in this light
Darling, keep your eyes on the prize
What is seen as a lifetime
Is just for a little while

VERSE 2
If not for these
I don’t know where this heart would reside
Still mourning the loss of Eden
Love, I’m missing what You’ve shown me
And a thorn in my side
Is this thirst I can’t deny

PRE-CHORUS
Will you take me from this broken place
And place me on the rock again?
Only You can reach me now
When the fever breaks
And I am breaking
Lord, beneath this cold regret
Only You can save me now

CHORUS
Calling, I’m calling out
Lord, be a refuge tonight…
Remind me, the war isn’t mine
I’m down, but not out
And You won’t let me out of Your sight
Not even for a little while
Darling, keep your eyes on the prize
Head up, hold it high
Walk in this light
Darling, keep your eyes on the prize
What is seen as a lifetime
Is just for a little while

I’m calling out... (x4)
