Survivor Earth

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



A survivor is one who knows the Truth
Though he might not have known Him from his youth

He listens and tries to do what is right
Though sometimes it means a terrible fight

He fights against flesh; yes, the flesh he has known
The flesh he is fighting, is what he called his own

If all the rest should go away
And I’d be left here still today

Then I’d still talk with you my Lord
And never, ever, ever be bored!

Because what can a man give to purchase his soul?
And how grateful is he when he’s been made whole?
