Somehow

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Remember what is good and do what is right
And then you’ll be able to sleep at night

On a soft summer evening as you play
In dreams you had at work that day
Don’t let your mind go off the tracks
Remember Jesus has your back

The wind of change blows through the trees
While you’re still young get on your knees
Ask God to give you hopes and dreams
To give you faith so you’ll believe

That even though you can’t see it now
Our God can work it out somehow

Remember Who is Good and do the right thing!
