Analysis of There is No Other Way
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
In every moment of every day
In every breath and all that I say
You’re watching me LORD
You know what I’m doing
You hear all my cries
And all of my cooing
You’re guiding my steps
In the way that I go
You’re keeping me safe
So, Your goodness I’ll know
You let me come near
To rest under Your wings
As I stay in Your Word
You will teach me all things
I cannot describe
All the joy that I feel
As You’re keeping me close
And We’re keeping it real
As I am in You
And You are in me
There is no other place
Where I could be so free
Come to Jesus today!
