When I Am Alone Do I Follow God Alone--
WHEN I AM ALONE DO I FOLLOW GOD ALONE--
In the public I may worship
With my fellow Christians
In the public may pay some titles and offerings (you see the envelope)
But in private;
What do I get;
How is my worship
Do I go off into my closet and praise the Lord
May sing in the choir
Ever so loud and anointed, beautiful
But when I’m along do I sing His songs aloud
Maybe a deacon, an usher too
Encourager but have I ever encouraged me too
I just no longer want to just get by;
With a bible in my hand and scriptures memorized
Am I true to my heart and myself?
And I commit alone with just me and Jesus
I am found grand in the public’s eyes
Praising God all the time;
But when I’m alone do I follow Him
Beautiful person I may seem to be
Smiling joyful bountifully
But alone I am troubled
All you see is my shadow
And as I smile looking in
Do I still believe in HIM
My God, Your God Our God
When I’m amidst fellow Christians
Do I serve HIM also when I am alone?
Do I get off work, turn on the TV and watch for hours?
Do I play those games that people play?
Do I get on the phone and backbite?
Do I gorge on food until midnight?
Do I anything and everything but tell the Lord God goodnight?
Do I just do anything good or ungodly?
And when I rise to I say Thank You God for another new day?
Do I pray, do my devotion as I should?
I am found grand in the public’s eyes
Praising God all the time;
But when I’m alone do I follow Him alone
Just as I said when I’m alone do I follow Him alone?
