Analysis of Hold onto Jesus
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
It doesn’t matter where you are
It matters who you’re holding
The clouds just hide the truth of God
His wrath is still unfolding
You have to fight! You’re in a war.
This is a great pandemic
The sin is in the skin you’re in
It seems it is systemic
