Analysis of Jump in
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
No one makes it through every winter
And no one makes it through every night
When the darkness is overwhelming
Sometimes you lose the fight
It depends on what you’re fighting for
And who is fighting for you?
You need the Lord!
To come and reassure you
The darkness cannot defeat
The children of the light
Our Father watches over you
And Jesus joins the fight
And who is like the Lord our God?
Who compares with him?
He wants to teach you how to fight
He taught you how to swim
He said: Come on let’s go!
