Analysis of Our Savior King
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
You alone Lord can change their hearts
In you alone Father is where it starts
Jesus Christ is our Savior; King
In Him you’re holding everything
He knows the beginning from the end
He knows if you seek or just pretend
He doesn’t care if you win or lose
He’s only asking for you to choose
The more I look; the more I see
The more I know it’s meant for me
To be a chosen son of God
To inherit blessing, not the rod
I wash the outside He washes what counts
And I know that I could never renounce
That Jesus Christ is our Savior; King
In Him you’re holding everything
