Get Ready for Christ’s Mass

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



You better be ready for Christmas on Friday,
The New Year’s just four days away.
Some call it one thing and others another,
But this is our Sabbath day!

Most claim they can see, but they’re legally blind;
The darkness has clouded their vision!
It’s not of the heart but only of flesh,
That they have received circumcision.

They wander around in this world without hope,
Not knowing which way, they should turn!
It seems as God gave them a spirit of stupor;
Though hearing they would never learn.

Let us not ask why God would do such a thing!
Because he knows the hearts of all men.
Instead let us praise God and rejoice that he told us,
That Jesus Christ will be our friend!
