Forget About Lusts
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
There’s only One God that I know!
His nation has no flag.
His people walk until they die!
Their feet they never drag.
If only more would seek Him out;
Their goal to see His face,
Then sorrow would not rule their lives.
On earth they’d see His grace.
But how can I get through to those,
With hearts as cold as stone?
When I start to tell the truth;
They say: Leave me alone!
Alone is where they’ll someday be!
My God is true and just!
If they would just accept His love,
They would forget about their lusts!
