Analysis of Da Pre-tribulation Question

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



You don’t have to reason from Scripture
Just walk away; close up your ears
You might think I’d get the picture
But all that I see is your fear

The poetry comes from Life’s lessons
My Lord likes to make time to teach
And though it might not be my time now
Of His love and wisdom, I’ll preach

So, when no one’s willing to listen
I’ll practice my craft and my art
My Lord still will hear my petition
He gives me His Spirit and His heart
