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 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

And 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, yeah
