Honoring God
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Sometimes you have to just go back
To let them know you care
Then other times its straight ahead
Though it might not seem fair
You might miss all the ones you love
By following His leading
But if you’re faithful, just and true
Your joy will not be fleeting
You all must honor covenants
Especially with your spouse
And if you don’t with your own hands
You’re tearing down your house
