At Peace with God
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
You’re the one who makes it
So, I do not have a care
I cast them all upon You
As I throw them in the air
I don’t lie down in anger now
Your Spirit gives me peace
With the One who has created me
His love will never cease
You know me and you love me LORD
And that’s what really kills me
But You have raised me up again
And now Your Spirit fills me
If I only speak the words, my FATHER
You will help me say
Then many won’t find wrath
Upon the coming judgment day
