Analysis of Lit (Living in Tents)
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
If you see the man of lawlessness
Revealed in many ways
Through bogus signs and wonders
And in all his evil plays
Stand firm in our Lord Jesus
And our Father’s mighty power
So, you won’t be unsettled
In the final days or hour
You know the day is coming
When our Lord will come again
And you’ll be coming with Him
If you love the truth my friend
Don’t let yourselves be idle
Or grow weary doing good
The only thing that matters
Is you did all that you could
Our Father won’t reject you
If you come to Him in Truth
So, do as you’re commanded
As you live here in this booth
