Daddy Help!
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent
Do not envy wicked men and turn your hand to violence
When I worry and I doubt and all that sin assails me
Right then I need to get it out; your Righteousness won’t fail me
And though we all have turned away and many won’t come back
If I will only walk with you, there’s nothing that I’ll lack
