Hold Me Teach Me
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
A saw a rich and surly man
He thought himself a king
The wisest man that ever lived
And he knew everything
It must have been the PHD
That made him act so rude
He once betrayed his closest friend
A power-hungry dude
Because of greed he won’t succeed
He loses in the end
The Lord appears to massive cheers
He will not share His glory
He comes again to get His friends
And share with them His story
History!
