How Could We Walk Away
(Written by Shelby Lorraine Howard, 2009, Sang by Lorraine Howard & Ron Stubbs (Grace Revealed Duo)

Verse 1
The time was drawing nigh
Salvation’s plan revealing
You prayed alone in agony
In the garden of Gethsemane
When those who once walked by your side
Forsook you in your darkest hour
The kiss of death brought Satan’s laughter
But Your death was in Your power
Chorus 1
When everybody walked away
You must have felt so lonely
No one stood by your side
As you knew what you must face
How could they turn their back
On the very one who created them?
How could they walk away?
How could they walk away?
Verse 2
There’ve been times in my life
I was just like the disciples
I wandered far away
From the very One who created me
When I think back on those times
I bow my head in shame
Forgive me, Lord, for failing you
As though for me You died in vain
Chorus 2
When from you we away Lord, do You feel so lonely?
But You stand right by our side
And our sins you will erase
How could we turn our backs
On the very One who created us How could we walk away?
How could we walk away? Tag
How could we walk away?
How could we walk away?
