Analysis of Pour Out Your Heart
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Empty your pockets so you won’t be looking
For something you need as the whole world is cooking
You brought nothing with you; you’ll take nothing out
So, what are these things that you worry about?
Your money won’t save you, your car or your bike
Your house on the earth or the things that you like
The whole world’s on fire; it’s rapidly burning
But your heart is the thing you need to be turning
The love that you have for the Savior; His Word
Are all of the things that you need to have heard
You’re looking for Love; I don’t want to miss you
So, focus on things that you can take with you!
My Word shall endure forever!
