Jesus the Refugee
Words and music by Kevin Slick © 2018


Chorus: Joseph arise said the angel in a dream
Arise and take the baby and his mother with thee
Joseph arise said the angel in a dream
Arise and follow me, refugee

1.There are those who seek to harm you
There will be danger on the way
Trust in God’s promise
And there will be a brighter day

2.You will walk across the desert
The journey will be long
But God will never leave you
And you’ll cross the river safe and strong

3.Who will welcome these refugees?
When they reach the promised land
Who will show them God’s mercy and love?
Who will lend a helping hand?

4.We will welcome these refugees
Lead by God’s own hand
Jose, Jesus y Maria
Welcome to the promised land
You are welcome in this land
