Analysis of No Complaints
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Father I’m so happy that I’m free,
I’m so glad that you’ve chosen me!
Your peace is way beyond compare,
It’s something that I want to share!
With all my friends and enemies.
I wish that they all could be free.
From all this world’s cares and woes,
To see that you are not their foe!
I read your words to them in bliss;
My joyfulness they cannot miss!
But some just cannot stand to hear me
And in their hearts, I know they fear me.
Thank you, Lord, for all you’ve done!
Thank you, Jesus, you’re the One!
Who came to save the world from pain.
And to you I will not complain!
