Absolute Truth
Virginia Groff 1959 (Allentown, Pa.)
My phone didn’t ring but my Spirit picked up,
I answered that call and I finally stood up.
I said no more evil, no more sin in my life!
Somehow, I must learn to become a good wife.
My work in this world is to simply believe,
But now I can see how easily I’m deceived.
Now the Word is my guide, the Absolute Truth,
Apart from the Word I will not be moved!
