Analysis of They Will All Be Taught by God

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Just because I cannot feel them
Does not mean they are not there
The words of God are working
And they’re moving everywhere

They’re walking down the boulevard
And flying through the air
They’re crossing all the battle lines
As hearts they do prepare
To receive our blessed Savior
Jesus Christ the Lord Almighty
And when its time for you to rest
You will cling to Him tightly

Our hearts now filled with promise
And on Him we can rely
He will not cease His work in us
And we shall never die
