Analysis of The Name
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
You’ve given me this time to work six and rest one,
And through the entire seven to have joy in the Son!
How can I ever understand all You’ve said?
Who can explain it, when it’s over my head?
Each day I listen closely to the Spirit of Truth.
Holy Father when You answer I won’t ask for proof.
