Rescued Out of My Mind

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



I have to write a message
To remember earthly things
But not so for the will of God
For me that’s everything

It’s how I get my daily bread
And how I pay my bills
The world never satisfies
And Satan lies and kills

I could have read a lot of things
To find out what is true
But the author of the bible
Lives inside both me and you

Jesus said: the time is near
The kingdom is within you
Come out of her my people
And I always will be with you!
