Analysis of Refresh Your Servants
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Bless all those who help your servants,
Show them your love too!
Give them peace and satisfaction,
In everything they do!
Extend to them your mighty hand;
And lift them from this earth!
Let them sing and dance with You;
And give them a new birth!
Your gracious love is so amazing;
Help them understand it!
Write your law on their hearts and minds!
Just as You have planned it!
My Father, I will bow to You;
My face upon the ground!
You’re always faithful, always true;
And in my heart renowned!
Rise up O Lord and show your might;
Your people really need it!
Do not let those who follow You,
Go on being defeated!
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
