Analysis of Homefield Advantage
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Why won’t you concede defeat?
Is there more out there for you?
Our Father is the only One
Whoever could be true
You balked and you rejected Him
Is this your final play?
You cannot stay here living
When the earth has fled away
Jesus is your base
And He wants to be your foundation
You will not find security
In any earthly nation!
