Analysis of God Makes Everything New
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Although I cannot see the Son
I know that He’s still there
I call upon his name; He comes!
And meets me in the air
You take away my travel kit
For me there’s something better
I’m going home; there I won’t need!
A bag, a coat or sweater
They thought that they could harm me
Now they can’t put out the fire
It heats my house to keep me warm
It’s not this good for liars!
