A Must Read
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The God of glory wrote a book
That all his kids could read
He wrote the truth to give them strength
And everything they need
The spirit that lives in you
Was conceived before creation
And now it’s waiting to be born
Through holy revelation
The trials you are going through
Are like a woman’s labor
They start out small but then increase
Until you meet your Savior
How wonderful your life will be
When you have left this earth
To be united with the One
Who came to give you birth
Everyone who listens to the Father
And learns from him comes to Me.
