Upcoming Attractions
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
I didn’t try the self-help books
I didn’t go to college
I wasn’t on a diet
And I might not have much knowledge
But hear I stand completely naked---
Before the Lord of all the earth
And I am not ashamed
There’s no more sin and no more curse
It’s just the way it was in days of old
And times gone past
I now have access to the throne
I’m with Him here at last
And now there is a little stone
A new name written on it
I eat the hidden manna
Where His blessing fell upon it
These things are not inventions
Of another clever man
But they were written long ago
And at the Lord’s command
He does not have His way in us
Unless we let Him in
And when we do we’re sure to face
Rebuke and discipline
God disciplines all those He loves
And no one will escape
But if you take your stand on Christ
The Rock will take your place
