The Lord Will Repay

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



As He left so shall He come
Before the eyes of men
And everyone both great and small
Shall see the Lord again

The mountains and the hills will quake
The nations will assemble
And every knee will bow to Him
And all their hands will tremble

The Lord is coming with the clouds
A mighty awesome storm
The men of earth will try to hide
Because they have been warned

To turn aside from all their evil ways
And make amends
To not continue stealing
From their family and their friends

And every wrong will be set right
That’s how the healing starts
The Lord shall repay every man
Because He knows their hearts
