Love’s Justice
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
When you’re alone and homeless
Then there’s not much left to do.
Just mourn and cry and ask God why?
Or let His Spirit change you.
I chose to do the latter,
Because I’d already done the first;
And questioning God’s Holy ways,
Had never quenched my thirst!
Many never seek the Lord,
To find comfort in His presence;
His sovereign will and majesty,
Love’s justice is His essences!
