1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 5:9
When I would crave
The crowd’s enthusiastic rave
When I would desire
A bro’s high five fire
When I would pine
The spotlight’s shine
Spirit, direct my gaze
Reorient my ways
Let me behold the Son
Living for an audience of One
Man’s praise wafts hollow
No substance to swallow
Crowd’s fervor ebbs to fade
Five’s fire a fleeting parade
The shine dwindling to low
Receding to dark shadow
Man’s approval falls flat
Disproving its “all that.”
The Creator’s praise
Is the envy of days
His affirmation alone
For and from eternity has shone
Thus, may my passion be
To live for the One to see
Only one’s approval matters
Leaving all others in tatters
For an audience of one
Let all be done.
A Singular Passion
