AMEN

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Only one thing is needed;
Two and three!
He is the One who chastens me.

My God is one person;
Wrapped up in three.
The Father, the Son and now even me.

So then what beauty comes from the ground?
As our God smiles looking down.
The sight of flowers in the Spring;
They see the lightning and they sing!
For the Lord has come to judge the earth.
