Analysis of A Mighty Angel
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Whatever favorites God may have
He does not show them to us!
Whatever sins cause us to lie
Will not make God refuse us!
But if we make the lies our life
Our hearts will surely harden
And when we see the pearly gates
We will not enter through them
I think its time for you to come
The night is waxing thin
The Morning Star will shine his light
And He will let you in
Jesus Christ loves you so much!
He would rather die than to live without you.
