lyrics

Music and Lyrics written by Melissa Oakvik

VERSE ONE:
I’ve called your name, and you are mine
When you’re over your head, I’ll be by your side
In a hard place, or a dead end
Rest on my shoulders, I will bring you in

CHORUS:
I’m your God, your personal refuge
I’ve been waiting here; I’ve been waiting here for you
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
I’m your God, your personal refuge
I’ve been waiting here; I’ve been waiting here for you

VERSE TWO:
Return my sons from distant lands
My daughters from corrupted plans
I’d sell the whole world to get you back
Trade the creation; I want to get you back

CHORUS:
I’m your God, your personal refuge
I’ve been waiting here; I’ve been waiting here for you
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
I’m your God, your personal refuge
I’ve been waiting here; I’ve been waiting here for you

VERSE THREE:
So get the blind and the deaf
Get the nations out from right and from left
Let them make their case, let them make their plea
You are my witness, God’s decree

CHORUS TWO:
I’m your God, your personal refuge
I’ve been waiting here; I’ve been waiting here for you
So come in the arms of love (oooo)
And don’t worry; don’t worry about what may come (oooo)
‘Cause I am always here (ooo)
I’m your God, your personal refuge
I’ve been waiting here; I’ve been waiting here for you
