Undefeated

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



I am back on the road dear Lord
This time to find your sweet reward
No longer in my prison cell
It’s of your glory I will tell
Removed from bitterness and strife
I find in you there’s only life
With promise of eternal bliss
There’s nothing here that I will miss
I’ll sing your praises in the street
And will not suffer from defeat
I’ll drink from a living well
I will not be cast into hell
No need for water on my tongue
I’m living with the Living One
