Won't Apologize

 


Yeah, I was born white

Lived my life as is

Won’t apologize

It’s who I am alright

 

You were born black

Or yellow, red or brown

Some have plenty

For some, there’s lack

 

What do you want

Me, to rewind time

Me, to give it all back

Don’t repeat Satan’s taunt

 

…That we’re not enough…

 

Sucking down worldly lies

God speaks to the deaf

Spirit whispers to the dumb

Something within dies

 

Division, the enemy’s word

Unity what Christ prayed for

And we the catalysts

Spirit on our hearts poured

 

Unity comes at a price

Prayer with our action

Talk being cheap

Are we warriors or mice

 

Forgiveness a costly gift

Christ our best example

Can we demand less

So our crosses we lift

 

What do you want from me

I am what God made

You, a precious creation too

Open your heart and see

 

I am no more and no less

We should be brothers

We should be sisters

This issue we must address

 

No walking away this time

Our Jesus prayed for this

The time is now my friend

Wouldn’t peace be sublime

 

A world where love reigns

Mercy our first thought

Kindness guiding our hands

As we walk life’s hardest lanes

 

Let’s love like our Lord

Let’s let go the past

Let’s cheer for each other

And put down this sword

 

Time is short can you feel it

Let’s be found being faithful

Turn our back on the world

Hearts ready when trumpets hit

 

For our Lord is coming soon

Creation’s call getting louder

Rocks and stones crying

Can you hear heaven’s tune

 

So I won’t apologize

And really neither should you

We exist as God made us

And for Him I will proselytize

 

Let us reason together

Finding common ground

Linking arms and moving forward

Then life’s storms we can weather
