I’m Gonna Run to the City of Refuge Songtext
von Blind Willie Johnson

I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge

Peter was preachin' the gospel
He was standing with eleven men
I'm sure you'll wind up in heaven
If you only wanna come in

I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge

Peter was preachin' the gospel
He was standing with eleven men
I'm sure you'll wind up in heaven
If you only wanna come in


I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge

Let me tell you, my sinner
If you wanna join in the band
You got to be converted, son
Give that preacher your hand

Well, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
I'm on a run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge

Well the Holy Ghost is a mystery
Paul said itl in the land
We're strong of heart at Damascus
Trying to stay in Jesus' hand

I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge


Now the 12th chapter of Revelation
'long about the 13th verse
The dragon hurled down by the preacher bound
and the dragon saw his death in hell

I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge

Well around that feastin' table
When Judas was about to leave
The apostle prayed down in his heart
That the Holy Ghost would set you free

I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
I'm on a run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run to the city of refuge
