Lyrics: 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, it's time for me to follow through
And do what I was made to do, and 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
