I Won't Walk Away

Lyrics

A certain man fell among the thieves

He was left for dead in the desert heat

All alone and far from home he suffered.

A priest and a Levite wandered by

But they crossed the road to the other side

They would say he wasn’t worth the effort.

Then a good Samaritan stopped to help

And bound up all his wounds

He showed the world what being kind can do.

I Won't Walk Away when I see there’s somebody in need

I won’t wait for a day that I’m totally free

‘Cause it’s not about me when it’s time to be helpin’ my neighbor.

When someone is lost and alone to their side I will go

I will listen a while, help ‘em carry their load

I will do the right thing for I’m tryin’ to follow my Savior

I Won’t Walk Away.

We get wrapped up in all the plans we’ve made

Just ignoring those who are feeling pain

Everyone has scars that we don’t notice.

But when we’re on the receiving end

We’re always grateful to have a friend

We don’t forget the kindness someone showed us.

So let me open my heart to all

The way that Jesus does

There are no regrets when we show love.

I Won't Walk Away when I see there’s somebody in need

I won’t wait for a day that I’m totally free

‘Cause it’s not about me when it’s time to be helpin’ my neighbor.

When someone is lost and alone to their side I will go

I will listen a while, help ‘em carry their load

I will do the right thing for I’m tryin’ to follow my Savior

I Won’t Walk Away. I Won’t Walk Away.

When someone is lost and alone to their side I will go

I will listen a while, help ‘em carry their load

I will do the right thing for I’m tryin’ to follow my Savior

I Won’t Walk Away.

I have always felt that the written word is much more powerful when combined with beautiful music. You have such a gift for this, and I appreciate these songs that feel like blessings I can carry with me, ponder as I fall asleep and hear in my heart when I wake up.

Your songs are mine and my kids' favorites! We play them in the car & on the piano and get so excited when a new one comes out. My 3-year-old son with Autism belts out entire verses (with actions) of the song "I will shine" and it's about the sweetest thing I've ever seen. The song The Miracle is my 6-year-old's favorite and the song that introduced us to your music!

 

Thank you again for blessing us all with your talents.
