I Refuse by Josh Wilson

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
