Where Will you be Then?
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
You must get your priorities straight
Don’t look for a time or wait for a date
Because your new life has already begun
If you’re walking with God just follow His Son
He’ll rise in the east and go toward the west
And whatever He tells you to do is what’s best
But how can you know what He tells you to do
If you won’t read His word and your heart is untrue
You know at some time you must lay down your life
So why not enjoy peace and lay down your strife
Your Father designed you to rest in His place
Will you now deny Him to seek outer space?
The life on this earth that you find yourself grasping
Will soon be replaced with a life everlasting
