Analysis of Don’t Be Blind
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Be aware of Satan’s schemes; his plans have never changed
His goal is to destroy your soul and keep you and God estranged
Don’t fall into the traps he sets as you’re walking along your way
But praise and sing and glorify God and do it everyday
The devil cannot harm you once you have been saved
All he can do is torment you
So, don’t be like grapes that fall from the vine
And don’t let this yeast ferment you
While growing into the image of God
There will be trials and tribulations
Just focus on Jesus and do not be swayed
He is worthy of your adoration
