It is Finished
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The world is trying to RIP God from me
They set their course
To drive Him out
But that’s not what
I’m all about
They try to pluck me
From His hand
But in His grip
Is where I’ll stand
They think they’re strong
But they will fail
And He will leave them
In their jail
The one that they have conjured up
Because they say He’s not enough
They seek to kill as they have planned
To keep us from the Promised Land
But Jesus Christ will snuff them out
And do it with a Mighty shout
