Pray the Day Away
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The key is in my birthday
In Zechariah four
It shows you who the martyrs are
In Revelation eleven-four
I know you won’t need anymore
Perhaps it’s in one-twenty
You know I think it’s fun for sure
I want to give you plenty
But if the Holy Spirit
Does not help you; you’ll be lost
Upon the raging seas in tempests
There you will be tossed
