Secret Agent
By Lewis Hamilton
From the book “The Gardener and My Garden” c1997
I keep my beliefs to myself
as much Lord, as I can
Please don’t make me testify
I’ll be your secret agent man
I‘ll mingle with my co-workers,
we have to get along
But deep down in my spirit
I’ll sing your gospel song
They’ll never know just how I feel,
I’ll hide it, that’s my plan
I won’t stand out from the rest
I’m your secret agent man
I go to church on Sunday
I hope that is enough
But talking to my fellow workers,
that would be too rough
Bless me Lord, as I sit there
as quiet as a mouse
Bless the things that I do
and everyone in my house
For you know Lord, I do my best
well almost all I can
Please don’t make me stand out
I’ll be your secret agent man
The Lord talked to me the other night
while I was sound asleep
He told me I was wrong
in the attitude I keep
He said he’d be ashamed of me
if I was ashamed of him
So there he changed my attitude
after I confessed my sins
Now I don’t cover up my light
I shine it all I can
There is no place in God’s army
for a secret agent man.
corresponding verse Mark 8:38
Amen!
Hi Lewis,
I am really enjoying these daily e-mails. They are nice reminders of your book, and I am surprised how much I do remember, once I am prompted with a message.
I’m still in awe that you wrote all of those poems! You have a real talent.
Beautiful!
