Analysis of No Shoes
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
On the way of Holiness in the air
The righteous walk without a care
No wild beast will jump up on it
But just the redeemed will be upon it
Like walking by a stream in spring
With life and love creation sings
They sing their songs and no one dies
They’re walking home up in the sky
They all have been redeemed by Jesus
He doesn’t do this just to please us
He loves us like our Father does
He always is and always was
Walk with Jesus! Who can fly?
But righteous men walk in the sky
