Time, Three and a Half Days

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Time is so you can see the signs.
Time is when you will know it is time.
The time is coming soon!
The day is here and light shines upon you.

Then the darkness overcomes the light,
But the sun rises again and there is hope in the light.
Then night comes and there is no light.
Where will your hope be then?

Will you hope in the darkness?
Or will your hope remain in the light?
Though you cannot see it.

Faith is all God asks of you!
Where will your hope be?
