Before the Seventh Trumpet
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
When the world is watching you
And waiting to attack
Before the final trumpet blows
I won’t be turning back
They look at your integrity
And try to find a flaw
But when the day has finally come
They’ll only stand in awe
Because my God has loved you
When they see you going home
Your feet will not be on the earth
And you won’t be alone
Every single word
That you have written is fulfilled
And when they see them going up
They’ll mourn for those they killed
Blessed is the one who hears and obeys!
