You’re in the Army Now

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

The protocol is all in place
To keep the sick from dying
Jesus is your Savior, so confess Him
Stop your lying

Follow on the path He walked
And listen to His voice
It always comes down to one thing
It’s that you have a choice

A fire on a snowy day
Will chase your sorrows far away
But when you let the world come in
Your joy starts wearing very thin

Don’t let pain get the best of you
Run back to what you know is true
The Holy Spirit is your friend
He’ll lead you in the Word again!
