Alone with Jesus

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



I don’t delight in staying here
Of dying now, I have no fear
A painful death I would not choose
But either way I cannot lose

The life I have cannot be shaken
And I know all never be forsaken
You give me wisdom, hope and grace
That I alone might seek your face

And in these troubled times its clear
Your love is all that I hold dear
You give to me your hope and grace
That I alone might seek your face

And now my joy is made complete
Resting right here at your feet
Nevermore to be alone
At last I’m settled in my home
