Just Get Real
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The religious leaders head the class
But to the next grade they won’t pass
They treat like merchandise the flock
That God gave them. He is the Rock!
They build on sand and not the truth
And they rejoice to live in booths
Because they have control of all the wealth
They think that this confirms their health
They’re seeker friendly this is true
But they do not know what they do
And whether they know it or not
They’ve given into Satan’s plot
God will send them a powerful delusion
