Matchless Fire

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Just a moment in time, yet it rings in my head,
What can I say Father, you are my bread.
Thank you for taking the time to teach me.
Thank you for stretching out your arm to reach me.

Thank you, my God, for being my sword,
My shield from the world as I rest in your Word.

My prayers always answered, your grace always seen.
Your magnificent love nestled deep in my being.
Your wonders revealed as your glory abounds,
You’re in every good thing Lord that I’ve ever found.
