I Refuse - Various Artists

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

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 I refuse
