Which Way You Going?
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
With nothing running through my mind
And still I couldn’t sleep
Another day, another morning
And another chance to weep
Another chance to do some good
To let my Father use me
Its not yet time to leave this world
Though many may abuse me
But that just might not happen too
If I leave before they get here
And not give them another chance
To do another evil deed
If I die or walk with God
And let his Spirit take me
No one can snatch me from his hands
And he will not forsake me
Now that’s something to think about
And to meditate on today
And then perhaps tonight I’ll sleep
If I haven’t gone away
