Sometimes I joke with the guys in my two studios that I'm going to get “kicked out of church” with some of these songs from God. This version is mild compared to parts of original verses, like “....things we do inside church walls--- Pushing people to do things our way... calling gossip _ our 'prayer concerns'?”
And a Revelation 2:19-20 reference to Tolerance within churches; “suffered” = “tolerated” in verse 20... “Compassion” is not a reason to tolerate sin even while loving the sinner -- NOTE that God even invited Jezebel in verse 21. YET--it's exciting to think that perhaps God's songs may make us more aware of how we offend Him and His Holiness even with our so-called “little sins.”
My own repeated giving in to a common sin actually made me open to this song-in-minutes from God.... It doesn't help when friends in church mean well and tell us, “oh, don't worry about it.... It's not important.... lots of people do that..... God will understand....NOT. God is a Holy God who says "You must be holy as I am Holy." (1 Peter 1:16, Lev. 11: 44-45, Leviticus 20:26).
2nd Corinthians 3:18.... If we reflect God badly, even little things,
we might hinder other people from coming to Him. Do we as individuals
OR as churches focus on that Truth?

VERSE 1
Why am I NOT embarrassed by the things I do alone?
Things I would NEVER do or SAY if Jesus were
visibly right by my arm? YET HE'S HERE
God I'm desperate! Help me witness to Your
Glory. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit Power for Your
Kingdom -- not just for me. Help me
be a good witness for You!
VERSE 2
Why aren't Christians embarrassed by the things we do outside church walls?
Things we would NEVER do or SAY if Jesus were

Glory. Please fill us with Your Holy Spirit Power for Your
JOY through us, Your Church. Help us
be a good witness for You!
