Lyrics to a song inspired by a trip to southern California, where my daughter was doing mission work one summer. I'll post a version of the song in MP3 format as time permits.
You won’t realize that God is all you need until God is all you have. (Dr. Tony Evans)
Would I Walk Away?
Lyrics © 2006 by Mark Dopita
I strolled a distance on the beach
So cold; the surf erased my feet
A bright, high sun upon my face
Thoughts of love and faith and grace
On the pier, lines cast to sea
Though men fished, none fished for me
Perhaps it is that I am caught
But free to act and free in thought
Would I walk away?
Though none can come and take away
What is mine?
Would I walk away?
Would I testify to truth and say
What is mine?
At a distance from the sea
A building stands, reflecting me
The image of the man, the son
Whose timeless work is yet un-done
The better purpose, argued still
To do the work, to do the will
To fight the fight at any cost
A monument to chances lost
Would I walk away?
Though none can come and take away
What is mine?
Would I walk away?
Would I testify to truth and say
What is mine?
Deep within the land of dreams
To my sad eyes not what it seems
Possessed of wealth I’ll never know
And depths of pain to deep to show
Yet on this stage, whose thanks we sing
Some do the work of Lord and King
To pour His grace on those who fell
That in His spirit they’ll ever dwell
Would I walk away?
Though none can come and take away
What is mine?
Would I walk away?
Would I testify to truth and say
What is mine?
