Analysis of Coming Home?

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



When you start running out of time
The best is yet to come
This time is only temporary
Find out where you belong!

Move in that direction
And you will not walk alone
If you don’t know Jesus; ask him
He will lead you home

God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked!
