Riding to the Rescue
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
We’ll praise Him till He saves us
And He takes us from this place
We’ll praise Him because we love Him
And we want to see His face
Jesus will not leave us here
Like orphans in the street
He’s coming back to get us
And to save us from this heat
The clouds are getting closer now
He’s riding like the wind
He’s coming back to take us home
Where we will be with Him
The sun won’t beat upon us there
We’ll never thirst again
No pain or death or sorrow there
Where we will be with Him
