Rolling Thunder
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
He makes his angels winds
His servants flames of fire
And not one prophet sent by him
Is found to be a liar
He wraps himself in light
He rides a Harley made of clouds
And with his straight pipes thundering
He’s scattering the crowds
He calls his people to him
He’s the Rock; the Sure Foundation
Jesus Christ; His Majesty
The Head of every nation
