Analysis of Lightning Strikes His Enemies

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



And what else is there here to say?
When I still struggle every day?
Do I not have enough to do?
In giving praise to worship You?

The answer LORD is in my heart
But I just don’t know where to start
Sometimes I think I’m far away
But I want to come home to stay

I just want to be with You LORD
You are the source of my reward
To walk with You all day and night
This is my way; You are my light!
