Analysis of Jesus Is
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
I am because You are,
Because You are I AM.
Trying is foolish,
This that all can see.
First humbly ask,
Then holy believe!
And after this you’ll need no more.
For it is your life He will restore.
There’s a little cloud settling over my home.
It’s the glory of God, there He is enthroned.
