Refuge - Dominic Balli

Where you go I’ll follow even 'til death and sorrow

I’m begging you please don’t go

That’s what she said to him on the day that he left them

Left all alone nowhere to go

Gazing over the bay where her only brother lay

It’d been far too long without him

Do I sleep to join him or can I live without him

There’s got to be a shelter from this storm

The Refuge of Zion comes

The Refuge of Zion comes for me

Seventy-nine years when my Great Grandma stopped breathing

He sat by her bedside waiting

It’d been a year since she knew what was reality

When she came to and said like chains come free

You are my strength and shelter

You hold me through the storm

Your hands won’t fail nor falter

When I’m overwhelmed
