Analysis of A Cool Breeze
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
A cool breeze blows across the sand
That’s there upon the beach
And if you know the Son of Man
Then you’re equipped to preach
Be careful what you say
And how you use the words you’re giving
So every soul that hears the Truth
May come and join the living
Don’t be harsh and shut them out
If they don’t understand
But share with them the love you have
And do all God commands
There never was a teacher
That got through to all his students
But do not fear; the LORD is near
And He will give you prudence
