Just One Man
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Lord, you’re everything we need and nothing impure.
It’s your grace that we need so we can be sure.
It’s your grace we need Lord so we can stand,
In this coming age as just one man.
How great is your mercy that I might see?
The gifts that you have lavished on me.
A gift of kindness and a gift of peace,
With a gift of love that will not cease.
