Sing with a Broken Heart
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Every word of the Lord is true
It happened to them and it happens to you
When he spoke, he wasn’t joking
If he said you’ll die you will
Just once at the time you’re appointed
The second depends on your bill
God sent his Son to pay for it all
If you won’t take the payment
You will take the fall
See! The winter is past;
The rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
The season of singing has come.
