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? 01/07/19 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.©2019
