Analysis of Man of God
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
O Lord your truth’s so great and strong
That I can barely stand
But then I see my feeble knees
Are strengthened by Your hand
So now on bended knee I pray
Receiving Your command
To live and love just like You do
So, I may be Your man
A man of God, O Lord, my Jesus
Just as You had planned
