Final Instructions
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Hugs are nice, but lies are no good.
We have a friend that did all He could.
He died on a cross to pay for our sins,
He gave us a choice and that’s where it begins.
If we make the right choice accepting His love,
We’ll be with Him forever in heaven above.
You know His name’s Jesus what else can I say?
If you enjoy outer darkness then go your own way.
The cloud has lifted so let us move.
The time has come, our faith to prove.
Let’s follow the Lord and not be slow.
Come now, He says: Let us go.
