God Never Lies
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
I don’t want your stinking money
I want to give you life
So, you can live it and enjoy it
Let Me make you My wife
When men deceive you, I get angry
I won’t tell you lies
You can be certain those who do
Are surely going to die
If they repent I will forgive them
I don’t enjoy their death
But if they don’t and then they kill you
I’ll give you My breath
Then you will stand up on your feet
And they’ll be terrified
Then you will be called up into heaven
And they’ll know I don’t lie
