Lamb Worthy
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Look upon me and do as I do
Worthy, worthy, worthy, are you
I will be your first love and I’ll be the last
The days of your sinning and suffering have passed
You cannot contain me; my place is with you
I’ll guide and instruct you in all that you do
The time of my coming to you is at hand
I’ll drive out the evil that live in this land
I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again
When you get on your knees and admit I’m your friend
