Stop and Consider This

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



The Lord is coming quickly now
Let’s watch and not pretend
So, we won’t be the ones left out
And neither will our friends
He’s given us the victory
That we’ve found in no other
Now let us watch until He comes
And also help our brother
Jesus is the Lord our God
The hope of our salvation
So, while you love your brother
Let that be your meditation
The sun is never too far off
It rises everyday
Though sometimes it’s behind the clouds
It never goes away
Behold, I am with you, even till the end of the age!
