You Look Like an Angel
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Forget the work of wicked men
It burns up in the fire
You know the LORD is just and true
And he does not get tired
At night you shine much brighter
You look like the noonday sun
With fire coming from your mouth
As all the wicked run
They run so they won’t be destroyed
Like many others were
Who tried to kill the bride of Christ?
Now they’re afraid of her
