Analysis of Grace or Disgrace
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Who knows what will happen next,
Though the future has now been decided?
Good works have already been laid out,
For the ones in whom Christ has abided.
But what will the outcome be of these works,
For the ones who have not yet been called?
Will they turn to seek God; His mercy and grace,
Or in their tracks will they be stalled?
I wish I could say that for all it ends well,
But you know this is just not the case.
Because you know many on earth at this time,
Will choose to live and die in disgrace!
