The Righteous Shine Bright
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Wherever you are; just be all there
And many cruel burdens; You won’t have to bare
One step at a time. As you pray in each hour
Surrender to God! Wait for His awesome power
Don’t be double-minded. Don’t miss the Lord’s hand
Don’t regret your decision; be a part of His plan
Jesus is coming! To rule and to reign
Don’t be among those; who defile His name
He’s coming to save us; He may come tonight
The wicked love darkness. The righteous shine bright!
