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!
