GOD IS THE AUDIENCE  
By Dean Beaty  7/11/04
 

Some refuse to serve the Lord, for they don’t see the gain.

There’s not enough to see it, to go through all the pain.
They look for crowds and numbers to build up their own name.
It’s not the Lord they glorify, advancing their own fame.
 
It takes a crowd or multitude to make them stand up tall.
If they can’t preach to many, then they won’t preach at all.
Don’t look to see who’ll know you’re there, or what’s the recompense.
It is enough to serve alone, when God’s the audience.
 
The place we serve may be obscure, affecting just a few.
But we will learn in heaven, our work, the Father knew.
So do the work God’s given you, as unto God alone.
They’ll be a day in heaven, when God will make it known.
 
There is no work that we have done, that will not reap reward.
The widow only had one mite, but gave all to the Lord.
That God would note the widow’s mite, to some it made no sense.
But He takes note of little things, when God’s the audience.
