Analysis of Come Back Home
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Moving is easy; stopping is the hard part.
Try driving on ice and you’ll take that to heart.
When the Lord says: Be still! We want to keep moving.
But the hard part is over so what are we proving?
If you’ll just sit there quiet and open your Bible,
You’ll see in the end; you will have no rival.
His love and affection meant only for you.
Take to heart what He says and you’ll see this is true.
Just believe on His words and you’ll increase your faith.
Everything apart from this is only a waste.
Come back home to Jesus; back where you belong!
Leave the gold for the richest and the world for the strong.
