One Nation
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Our God speaks in poetic form
At many times so we’ll be warned
He speaks to me; He speaks to you
He tells us all that He will do
We have freewill and we MUST use it
It is given us so we will choose it
If we refuse to make a choice
In that our God still hears our voice
Its not my fault; that’s what we’re saying
And in our wicked hearts betraying
The trust that God has given us
That’s why all flesh returns to dust!
