For An Audience Of One Only. Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Whenever I sing with
Holly Village's senior
hymn singers- I sing for
an audience of one only.

We are a small group you see,
we sing songs to honor our deity.
Our songs reach heaven's pearly gates.
To enter therein we cannot wait.

I sing for an audience of one only,
Jesus Christ is the inspiration of my life.
He does not judge my singing by its quality
only its sincerity.

Not for selfish ambitions,
nor hope of worldly gain.
Such hopes are way beyond me.
Only befitting the way I used
too long to be.

Not to satisfy my sinful soul.
I am heading for a heavenly mansion,
or so I am told.

I sing for an audience of one only.
And I know he hears and answers my humble pleas.
He alone can set my captive spirit free indeed.
