Walking Away

He was walkin home one day,

knew he had to cross the tracks this way

even though there are bullies here,

ones that seemed to have no fear.

So when one approached him,

and threatened to punch him in the eye,

all that he asked...was why?



And then he walked away.

He'd had enough that day.

Even though he knew

what he could have been through.

He just walked away.



When that time came again,

he was more grown.

His mom and dad were in a fight,

and it seemed to last all night...



So he just walked away.

He'd had enough that night,

and even though he really knew

what they were goin through.

He hated to see them fight.

So he just walked away.



Then he remembered a long time ago,

a man he knows today

who was beaten right to the ground,

but within God he found

the strength to get back up off the ground...



And he could have walked away,

but he had a debt to pay.

Even though he knew,

what he would go through...

for you and me too...

He didn't walk away...

Yeah he stayed that day...

Jesus didn't walk away...
