Standing All Alone

Lyrics

Looking at this world
Has made me dizzy
Everybody seems to be so busy
But they are working for the things
That are going to melt away
When they stand before the Lord
On judgment day

Chorus
Well don't you know
That the works of man
Will only last for awhile
One day you're going to wake up
And find you gone
Where will you be
Without Jesus as your life
This world's going to
Leave you standing all alone

There is only one way
To have peace of mind
And that's when the things of this world
You've left behind
All the things you're living for
Are going to fade away
When you're looking for the things
That are going to stay
(To Chorus)

About This Song

This song is one of my earliest songs written in the summer of 1981. So often we trust in the job, the stock market or our retirement fund to help us make it. And we try to find joy in the pleasures and entertainments of this life. But all these things rest on shaky ground. Sooner or later all these things are going to fail us. When this happens, where will you be? Where will you be if Jesus is not the sum-total of your life? All the things of this world are going to leave you standing all alone.
