It’s Free for All
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Men try to tell you how it was
Or how it’s going to be
But I tell you the word of God
And it has set me free
The Word of God has strengthened me
In him I won’t do wrong
Because he shows me what is right
In him I will be strong
I will not crucify the rich
I will not shun the poor
The blood of Christ has covered me
I know what is in store
And in it nothing is for sale
It’s all free for the taking
Those chosen by the Lord find rest
God’s children won’t be shaken
