Escape or Die
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
You gave me more than I asked for Lord
You’re giving me all that I’m needing
You even provided a doctor now
To help with my future bleeding
I don’t mean to prophesy doom and destruction
But these are the words I am getting
Even if we could cure all our diseases
This is where the world is heading
Pray that you will be able to escape all these things
