Look At the Birds
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
As long as God is sovereign
Then I can be at peace
It doesn’t matter if I’m great
Or if I am the least
I do not have to sow or reap
Or store away in barns
For God will make sure that I eat
And that I’m kept from harm
Because without God who can eat
Or even find enjoyment?
And without him no one can work
Or even find employment!
Ecclesiastes 2:26
