Analysis of No More Tears
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The day is coming and quickly too
When God will bless both me and you
And then together we will stand
One flesh, One Spirit, as One man
The wealth of every nation now
Brought in; Before our God they bow
In full submission they must stay
So they will not be put away
The lion and the lamb lie down
Together on this holy ground
The roaring ceased; there’s no more prey
Salvation rains on judgment day
A shelter from the fiercest storm
In Jesus’ arms they’re dry and warm
