Private Eyes
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
He keeps me in his Word
So, I’ll remember what I heard
The Lord is faithful; Jesus true
He’s always looking out for you
He watches when you sleep at night
He’s always there to give you light
He never leaves me all alone
Its in his mind to take me home
And what he thinks and what he says
Will come to be no need to dread
My Father keeps his eye on you
He watches everything you do
And when you do what’s right. He sees
And says: “That really pleases me.”
Well done good and faithful servant
