Holiness
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
God fights my battles for me
He knows that I can’t fight them
Beholds the storms that come along
And with His Word He smites them
Considering His power as
The lightning falls around me
And coming out the other side
But never as He found me
I’m set apart but not from something
Man is prone to do
I’m set apart unto the LORD
His grace and love is true
