What Good Am I ? Lyrics

What good am I if I'm like all the rest,
If I just turned away, when I see how you're dressed,
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,
What good am I?

What good am I if I know and don't do,
If I see and don't say, if I look right through you,
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky,
And walk away, What good am I?

What good am I, if while you softly weep,
I hear in my head what you say in your sleep;
And freeze in the moment like the rest who don't try,
What good am I?

What good am I to others and me
If I've had every chance and fail to see;
If my hands are tied, must I not wonder within:
Who tied them, why? and where have I been?

What good am I if I say foolish things,
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings,
If I turn my back while you silently die,
What good am I.….Bob Dylan - What Good Am I ? - http://motolyrics.com/bob-dylan/what-good-am-i-lyrics.html

And what good am I if I don't love and obey,
The One who took my sin
When I was going astray…
The very air that I breathe comes from Him.

What good am I if close my eye
To see the heavy burdens of the poor,
And just walk on by…

David was a poor shepherd boy who hid in a cave,
When King Saul persecuted him
Without gold or silver he was able to survive
The Lord kept him alive.

Ruth would not let Naomi go alone
Through the wilderness to the land of her home…
The God of Israel rewarded Ruth abundantly;
She married Boaz, and lived happily.

What good am I,  if I don't use my faith to see
Beyond how it appears to be
When things aren't going right.
The Lord is my song in the night!
