Analysis of A Song
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
There ain’t no need to hurry,
Instead just stand in the Way.
And don’t you start to worry,
Just listen to what I say.
The Lord is there to guide you,
He’ll lead you everyday
And the Lord will stand beside you,
When you choose to stand in the Way.
You know the Father loves you,
So what else can I say?
There ain’t no need to hurry,
Instead just stand in the Way.
