February 29
We’ve each been given an extra day,
It happens one year in four.
And we will have to account for it,
When God’s adding up our score.
Will you just waste this precious day,
As so often you have before?
Or will you have spent it wisely
Before sending it out the door?
We’ve each been given an extra page,
On to which to write our name.
And if you leave this page a blank,
You can’t live down the shame.
There are so many lost folks in the world
Who need a guiding hand.
You could be the one to show them
So that they will understand.
One more day to bring God's word.
One more day for a loving touch.
One more day to tell of the Savior
Whom they all need so much.
To please your God when your time comes,
To meet Him face to face,
You should be proud to say you used this day,
To make Earth a better place.
