One Nation

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Our God speaks in poetic form
At many times so we’ll be warned

He speaks to me; He speaks to you
He tells us all that He will do

We have freewill and we MUST use it
It is given us so we will choose it

If we refuse to make a choice
In that our God still hears our voice

Its not my fault; that’s what we’re saying
And in our wicked hearts betraying

The trust that God has given us
That’s why all flesh returns to dust!
