This is the Word
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
We might not know until we go
But of this I am certain
We will not find the rest we seek
On this side of the curtain
We can’t do the things we want
Without the Spirit’s power
And we won’t know all we that should
Until our final hour
But then we’ll see His face
And we’ll be bathed in all His glory
But even when this comes to pass
It will not end His story!
