“Thou shalt separate three cities…. Thou shalt prepare thee a way… that every slayer may flee thither…. He shall flee unto one of those cities, and live: lest the avenger of the blood pursue… and slay him” (Deuteronomy 19:2-6). “And enter not into judgment with Thy servant: for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified…. I flee unto Thee to hide me” (Psalm 143:2,9). “Safety is of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:31). “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved…. Save yourselves from this untoward generation” (Acts 2:21,40).
There
is a place where we may flee
Though
judgment makes its firm demand.
There
is a truth that makes us free,
And
shows a Refuge near at hand.
As
God commanded by His grace
That
refuge cities should be made
To
thus provide a hiding place,
We
see a type of Christ portrayed.
We
find our safety in the Lord
Where
justice has been satisfied!
The
wrath of God was on Him poured,
And
in Him we are justified!
O
Lord, we’ve called upon Your name,
And
found in You what we have craved:
A
Refuge from our sin and shame
Wherein
we are forever saved!
We
thank You, Lord, for Your salvation
And
for the Refuge You’ve revealed
That
saves us from this generation
As
by Your stripes we have been healed.
