Where Do We Go Now?

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Lord my arms are way too short
To fight a holy battle
These arms of flesh aren’t quick enough
To stop the serpent’s rattle

So, show me what you want from me
And give me strength to do it
I know Your words are powerful
Just show me how to use them

I want to lead the lost sheep back
To worship in Your temple
So, I will continue in Your Word
To find a good example
