Keep on Moving

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

Keep on moving before you get stuck
The foolish believe, good or bad they have luck

Divine intervention is all that there is
When appointments are made, the appointments are His

God gives you a choice; if you love Him you win
If you tell Him stay out, He won’t let you come in

He’ll honor your wishes; He’s kind but He’s just
You can choose just to love Him or choose your own lust

While you’re still filled with darkness the light is your friend
But the choice that you make you’ll receive in the end

It’s only the dead that cease moving at all
The choice must be made now! To rise or to fall

Blessed are those that through death go on living
Jesus Christ is Almighty and He is forgiving!
