DON'T WALK AWAY


WHAT WILL HAPPEN LORD
IF I TAKE MY SHINNING LIGHT AWAY
BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE WHAT I SEE OR HEAR
DO I LIVE IN THEIR DARKNESS ANOTHER DAY

DO I WHO IS NOT TO JUDGE
JUDGE ALL BY THE ACTIONS OF A FEW
SHALL I SET MY OWN STANDARDS
OF WHAT YOU EXPECT ME TO DO

YOUR BIBLE IS A COMPLETE PLAN
A PUZZLE WE PLACE TOGETHER PIECE BY PIECE
STRUGGLING WITH WHAT WE CAN'T BARE
YET STILL LONGING FOR SWEET RELEASE

IF WE FIND SOMETHING YOU WISH
HARD FOR US TO DO
WE TEND TO COME TO OUR OWN CONCLUSIONS
THAT THE LITTLE CHANGE WE MADE IS OK WITH YOU

BUT WE CAN'T HIDE FROM THE REAL FACTS
THAT YOU REVEAL IN YOUR WORD
AND WE AS YOUR CHILDREN MUST ENDURE
TO BECOME MORE LIKE YOU LORD

WE TEND TO RUN AND HIDE FATHER
WHEN HURT SUFFERING AND SADNESS COME OUR WAY
INSTEAD OF FACING WHAT WE DON'T LIKE
WE PUSH IT ASIDE AND START AFRESH THE NEXT DAY

WHERE WOULD WE BE LORD IF YOU
DIDN'T FACE ALL THAT YOU KNEW MUST CHANGE
EVEN WHEN THE BURDENS YOU CARRIED
MADE YOU FEEL ALL WAS DONE IN VAIN

YET ONLY THE WILL OF GOD ALMIGHTY
KEPT YOU FOCUSED AND ON TRACK
FOR IN YOU WAS THE TRUE CONVICTION
THAT GOD'S WORDS WERE TRUE FACTS

NOT TO BE ALTERED OR CHANGED
BECAUSE OUR PRIDE OR FEELINGS GOT IN THE WAY
NOT TO BE CHANGED BY OTHERS ACTIONS
FOR YOU SEE ALL UPON JUDGEMENT DAY

CHILD WHEN YOU REMOVE THE LIGHT
OF MY LOVE THAT LIVES IN YOU
DARKNESS IS WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND
A WAY FOR SATAN TO COME THROUGH

I KNOW THAT YOUR HEART IS TENDER
EASILY HURT AND SORROWED AT TIMES
BUT TURNING AWAY FROM THE TROUBLES ABOUT YOU
IS NOT HAVING A CHRIST LIKE MIND

SO COME TO ME IN PRAYER
LET ME GIVE YOU ALL THAT YOU NEED
DAY BY DAY WE CAN CHANGE YOUR HEART
THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM SEEDS

WHAT I ASK IS FAR FROM EASY
FOR HUMAN ON EARTH YOU WILL REMAIN
BUT MY KINGDOM AWAITS MY OBIEDIENT SEVANTS
WHO WITH ME IN HEAVEN SHALL REIGN

I SEE YOUR HEART OF LOVE FOR ME
I KNOW I LIVE IN YOU
BUT WALKING AWAY FROM
WHAT YOU KNOW MUST CHANGE
GRIEVES MY HEART WHEN YOU DO

SO CHILD COME TO ME MORE OFTEN
CRY OUT THE WRONGS THAT TROUBLE YOUR HEART
I WILL GUIDE YOU LOVINGLY THROUGH
SHOWING YOU DON'T WALK AWAY
STAND UP AND DO YOUR PART
