Will You Take My Life?
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
As I move slowly through this world
I see lives are being saved
Where the Holy One is living
There’s another empty grave
You cannot kill the living
They just move from place to place
And even when their time has come
They still see Jesus’ face!
So, if you’re born again in Christ
Then what man shall you fear?
The people of this world are dead
They’re only living here
The Life that you have taken
Is the only One who’ll save you!
So, will you take My Life right now?
Or let this world enslave you?
