Analysis of In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Learn little by little
Over time
And in Jesus Christ
You’ll find your rhyme.
Play your music loud and clear.
Play it so the Lord can hear.
Making music in your heart,
In troubled times, is quite an art.
Paint your picture beautiful.
I never want to leave my school.
Except for recess.
When I go outside to play
And just enjoy another day.
Encouraging my brothers.
Your Daddy loves you! Can’t you see?
There’s no place else I’d rather be!
You go my son and make your Father’s heart glad.
