Higher Learning
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Storms will come and they will go
And leave behind destruction
But for the ones who simply know
There are great words of instruction
You should not put your faith in God
But think that He can’t reach you
In all the storms that come your way
He’s only trying to teach you
He brings you to a greater sense
Of wisdom in His knowledge
The kind of things you cannot learn
On earth in any college
