My Savior
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
You’ve engraved me on the palms of your hands;
On the cross you did this so I could stand.
Your blood poured out so I could be saved,
Your body was broken so I would not be enslaved.
How long O Lord will you hide your face?
How long O Lord must I live only by grace?
My desire is to know as I am fully known;
My desire is I will reap what you have sown.
