Is It a Glorious Game for You?

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Your timing is always perfect Lord
I know it can’t get better
And yet my understanding will
I read that in Your letter

You knew me and You chose me
In Your Son before creation
And then You placed me in this world
To play out Your salvation

It hasn’t always seemed a game
And yet it doesn’t still
But I know it can be that way
When I walk in Your will

So, help me walk as Jesus did
On earth in His temptation
Then take me home to be with You
My final destination

Father, help me to be the man You want me to be
And let Your kingdom come and Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven AMEN!
