Audience of One...

Taken from "The Heart of the Artist"...

AUDIENCE OF ONE
It's such a strong temptation to live for man's applause
But I don't want to buy into the lie
'Cause I know that's not a worthy cause
So to keep things in perspective, I hung a sign up on the wall

The sign is nothing special, but it really says it all
And the sign says

I'll be content to serve an audience of One
Only His approval counts when all is said and done
And this is my prayer, when the race is finally run
I want to hear "Well done"
From the audience of One

When the drive for recognition starts to get the best of me
All I've got to do is look around at the people serving selflessly
And they don't serve for glory, and they're not keeping score
There's a sign that's written on their hearts
A sign I've seen before

I'll be content to serve an audience of One
Only His approval counts when all is said and done
And this is my prayer, when the race is finally run
I want to hear "Well done"
From the audience of One

In the not-too-distant future
When the crowds all fade away
I'll stand alone before my Lord
An this is what I long to say

I'm overjoyed to serve an audience of One
It's what I've been created for ever since day one
And this is my song, as I bow before Your throne
I love to hear "Well done"
From the audience of One

So this will be my prayer, 'til the race is finally run
I want to hear "Well done," I long to hear "Well done"
I want to hear "Well done"
From the audience of One.
