Who is Big Enough?

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



You’re big enough to know the difference;
You’re big enough to do what’s right.
You’re big enough to go your own way;
You’re big enough to learn to fight.

The lies the world tells you;
Will not get you anywhere.
It’s still lonely in the corner;
When you’re sitting in that chair.

You’re small enough to stumble;
And you’re small enough to fall.
Who’ll be there to pick you up?
When you’re your all in all?

God is big enough to help you!
God is big enough to listen!
So, cast your cares upon Him!
Or His glory you’ll be missing!
