I Refuse

By Josh Wilson

Lyrics

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 wanna live like I don't care

I don't wanna 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

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 wanna live like I don't care

I don't wanna 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 wanna live like I don't care

I don't wanna 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

I refuse
