I Refuse

Josh Wilson � I Refuse

Sometimes I'

I just want to close my eyes

And act like everyone's alright

When I know they're not.

This world needs God

But it's easier to stand and watch.

I could say a prayer and just move on

Like nothing's wrong.

But I refuse.

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care.

I don't want to say another empty prayer.

Oh' I refuse to

Sit around and wait for someone else

To do what God has called me to do myself.

Oh' I could choose

Not to move but I refuse.

I can hear the least of these

Crying out so desperately'

And I know we are the hands and feet

Of you' oh god.

So' if you say move'

Then it's time for me to follow through'

And do what I was made to do.

Show them who you are.

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care.

I don't want to say another empty prayer.

Oh' I refuse to

Sit around and wait for someone else

To do what God has called me to do myself.

Oh' I could choose

Not to move but I refuse.

To stand and watch

The weary and lost

Cry out for help.

I refuse

To turn my back

And try and act like all is well.

I refuse

To stay unchanged'

To wait another day'

To die to myself.

I refuse

To make one more excuse.

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care.

I don't want to say another empty prayer.

Oh' I refuse to

Sit around and wait for someone else

To do what God has called me to do myself.

Oh' I could choose

Not to move but I refuse.

I refuse
