Nothing but the Truth

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

The strong winds blow and the sheds cannot stand.
It’s your Word that we need, not what’s made by our hands!

In the Son I can walk and I won’t be uncovered.
All your branches are bare if you don’t love your brother!

If you will seek, then I know you will find it.
And if you do not, you’ve already declined it!

The words of the Bible were all written for you.
If you don’t seek the Truth, you won’t know what is true!

Jesus can heal all your sickness and pain.
But He won’t intrude on you as I’ve just explained.
