Because I Said So.
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Anything I can see; has come to pass
But the Love of God will always last
He draws it from a fresh, deep well
It even rises up from hell
The God of love does not know bounds
It falls from heaven to the ground
It softens up the dirt on earth
And then new life is given birth
A new creation from the old
A precious jewel that won’t be sold
He guards it in a secret place
So, when I wake I’ll see his face
Night, night darling, it’s time for bed
When you wake up you’ll rise again
