Analysis of Prepare to Meet God
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Lord I know you’ll deliver us from oppression
From all of the things that become our obsessions
From our cars and our houses; our bikes and our yachts
Our lives of adultery and our beers with our shots
Every man should prepare to meet his God here
For the Day of the Lord is now drawing near
