Analysis of I Don’t Deserve It
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Him in you and Him in me,
Together we will always be!
I pray that I will see it here,
But still I know the time is near!
I can’t deny His sovereign plan,
The one He has for every man.
The ways of God seem strange to me,
But just and true they’ll always be!
I can turn up the praise, with just a touch.
How could I ever deserve so much?
