"I Refuse" - Josh Wilson
Transcribed: 02/20/2011 - Ernie Dipko
D F#m
Sometimes I, I just want to close my eyes
G
And act like everyone's alright
D
When I know they're not
D F#m
This world needs God, but it's easier to stand and watch
G
I could say a prayer and just move on
D
Like nothing's wrong
Bm A G
But I Refuse
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/josh_wilson/i_refuse_crd_ver_3.html ]
D
I don't want to live like I don't care
A
I don't want to say another empty prayer
G D
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
A
To do what God has called me to do myself
G Em7 A
I could choose not to move
D
But I refuse
D F#m
I can hear the least of these, crying out so desperately
G D
And I know we are the hands and feet of You, oh God
D F#m
So if You say move, it's time for me to follow through
G
And do what I was made to do
D A
And show them who You are
D
I don't want to live like I don't care
A
I don't want to say another empty prayer
G D
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
A
To do what God has called me to do myself
G Em7 A
I could choose not to move
Bm A/C# D G
I refuse to stand and watch the weary and lost cry out for help
Bm A/C# D G
I refuse to turn my back and try and act like all is well
Bm A/C# D G
I refuse to stay unchanged, to wait another day to die to myself
Em7 A
I refuse to make one more excuse
D
I don't want to live like I don't care
A
I don't want to say another empty prayer
G D
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
A
To do what God has called me to do myself
G Em7 A
I could choose not to move
D
But I refuse
