Getting Over Darkness

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

When everything seems cloudy
And your future isn’t bright
That’s when you might see Jesus
If you ask, he’ll give you light

In him there is no darkness!
He’s just waiting for the Day
That you will turn and seek him
And know everything is okay
