Ask #1

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



God, where could I go that
I would not still need you?
For you are my breath and my life.
All that I am is wrapped up in you.
Come and make me your bride.

All dressed in white I’ll wait here for you.
Jesus, come take my life
And I will stand up for you!

You are the Lord Most High.
Yes, you are the Lord Most High;
My God who lives in the sky,
The One who still blows my mind.

Elohim, I bow down before you
And I worship you, because you saved my life!
