It's such a strong temptation to live for man's applause

But I don't want to buy into that lie

'Cause I know that's not a worthy cause

So to keep things in perspective, I hung a sign

upon the wall

The sign is nothing special, but it really says it all

And the sign says

I'll be content to serve an audience of One

Only His approval counts when all is said and done

And this is my prayer, when the race is finally run

I want to hear "Well Done"

From the audience of One

When the drive for recognition starts to get

the best of me

All I've got to do is look around at the people

serving selflessly

And they don't serve for glory, and they're not

keeping score

There's a sign that's written on their hearts

A sign I've seen before

I'll be content to serve an audience of One

Only His approval counts when all is said and done

And this is my prayer, when the race is finally run

I want to hear "Well Done"

From the audience of One

In the not-too-distant future

When the crowds all fade away

I'll stand alone before my Lord

And this is what I long to say

I'm overjoyed to serve an audience of One

It's what I've been created for ever since day one

And this is my song, as I bow before Your throne

I love to hear "Well Done"

From the audience of One

So this will be my prayer, 'til the race is finally run

I want to hear "Well Done", I long to hear "Well Done"

I want to hear "Well Done"

From the audience of One
