Analysis of Hear; It Is

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Nice it is your presence Lord
You’ve come to set me free
Salvation it is in your Son
For all of those who’ll see

And all your countless wonders Lord
That you’ve done in the past
Will not compare to this great deed
Your love won’t be surpassed

You’ve contended with those
Who have contended with them
And their children you did save
