Dottie Peoples - Closet Religion Lyrics

I don't have a closet religion
I can't hide the God I serve
I got to let the world know
Where ever I go
I got to praise and serve the Lord
Oh serve the Lord

King Darius, made a decree
there won't be no praying around here,
whosoever call on any God's name
will be cast into the lion's den
Daniel didn't pay the king no attention
Three times a day he prayed to God anyway
When confronted with the consequences of the lion's den
I can hear old Daniel say

All night, Daniel stayed in the lion's den
In the morning, to the king's surprise
God sent his Angels, to shut the lion's jaw
And Daniel was still alive
Daniel used the lions for a mattress and a pillow
And the Angels rocked Daniel to sleep
When he got up, Daniel let, everybody know
I'm not ashamed of the God I serve.

How many of you can say I don't

I don't (I don't have a closet religion)
I don't (I don't have a closet religion)
I'm not ashamed of the God I serve (I don't have a closet religion)
Ask the Hebrew boys, (I don't have a closet religion)
They'll tell you they're not ashamed (I don't have a closet religion)
How many of you are not ashamed (I don't have a closet religion)
Of the God you serve (I don't have a closet religion)
I don't (I don't have a closet religion)
I don't (I don't have a closet religion)
I don't (I don't have a closet religion)
Have a closet religion (I don't have a closet religion)
I'm not ashamed of God (I don't have a closet religion)
I'll tell the world (I don't have a closet religion)
I don't (I don't)-REPEAT 15 TIMES

I got to let the world know
where ever (where ever I go)
I gotta praise (I got to praise him)
I've got to praise him ( I got to praise him)
I've got to praise him ( I got to praise him)
And serve the (Serve the)
(Oh Serve the)
The Lord (Lord)
