I Refuse
Sometimes I,
I just wanna 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 to 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 to 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.
