My Favorite Song

I Refuse by Josh Wilson


If you would like to hear it and watch the lyrics, go down to the bottom of this post and watch the video, which includes the music and lyrics.

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 pray a prayer and just move on
Like nothing's wrong

But I Refuse


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
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

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
I could choose not to move
But I refuse

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

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
I could choose not to move
But I refuse

This song is my favorite because it really shows how we, as Americans are.  We live in our own little world and need to step out of it.  We have to start helping others in need. As Christians, we need to do God's will, and we can do that by showing others love.  The word Christian, literally means Christ-like, so to call ourselves that, we have to act like Jesus.  This song really shows me that I need to start helping others and showing God's love.
