Analysis of He Comes Again

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Not too much and not too little
But everything that I need
So evil won’t invade my life
And my children I can feed

I ask this Lord because these are
The words you spoke to me:
The lame will walk, the sick be well
And all the blind will see!

PRAISE THE LORD
