Analysis of Fitting Ends
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Everything for a reason,
Everything in His time,
Until it is the season,
You will not find a rhyme!
When the Lord’s winds blow,
Waves of trouble will crash,
As for you, you may know,
What He built; they won’t smash!
The house built by men,
But in the Lord, void,
In the sand finds its end,
As by Him it is destroyed!
