Broken Sanctuary: Look Away: Press On
By Lisa Loucks-Christenson
Excerpt: A song born from pain, witness, and faith, Look Away: Press On is both an anthem for journalists who refuse to turn away and a prayer for those still waiting for answers.
Look Away: Press On is one of the key songs in Broken Sanctuary. It was written after a painful season when police looked away from criminal acts involving our property and family for the last time. That experience became the heart of the Look Away prequel song, and the full version grew into a bold anthem about what happens when truth refuses to stay silent.
This song is both an anthem for other journalists and a prayer for those seeking answers through prayer. It speaks to the reporter who refuses to ignore suffering, and it also speaks to the hurting soul who is asking God to see, help, and answer. The Press badge stands for accountability, compassion, and truth, while the prayer beneath the song points to mercy, healing, and divine justice.

Intro
Verse
God prepare me for the call
Make me ready stand up tall
Guide my heart and guide my hand
Let me follow Your command
I’m the watchman through the night
Eyes that pierce the dark and light
See the pain the world denies
Hear the helpless silent cries
Pre-Chorus
I see the weak the lost the torn
Left to face the storm alone
They need grace to light their way
Not the judgment night and day
