This is True

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



My Father all your ways are right
You always tuck me in at night

I think about your Word all day
Please help me always there to stay

For when I’m dwelling in your house
I’m often quiet as a mouse

And when you part my lips to speak
Your children hear the Truth and seek
The peace that guards my heart and mind
And when they do, your love they find

It’s then I fly on eagle’s wings
And never want for anything

Who could love me like you do?
There is no other One. It’s true!
