To You Alone

                                                                To You Alone


                Who are they?
                Those whose faith is known
                To you alone?
                When we pray
                We intercede for everyone
                We recognize as one
                Within the church today
                And for those whose faith is known
                To You alone.
                Are they strangers in a strange land
                Keeping faith under the hand
                Of a godless police state
                Who would have them erased
                For speaking outwardly of their devotion?
                Or is there some other notion
                Of where these sheep are placed?
                I propose
                All believers' faith is known
                To You alone.
