I Am Not On My Own
I am not on my own, the Lord told me
it would work out this way.
Many of my friends left, but not all because
I told them that even more they should pray.

I didn't want to offend any of them
but I did, I know.
Only in the light of the Lord can any
one of them ever grow.

They said that I was a fanatic; too much
religion, they said, was in my veins.
I don't know if that is true or not; all I know is
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart, soul and brain.

I'm not on my own, the way some would be if their
friends did not have the love of the Good News of salvation.
I can only feel like I do, inside of me is the peace only the Lord can give, it all started at the dawn of creation.

So, even if all my Christian friends left me
for some reason, I'd still not ever be alone.
Just like the Lord told me, that in
Him I'll never be on my own.
