Rise To the Occasion

RISE TO THE OCCASION By Curtis Johnson When people like troubled flock, From next door or around the block, Come crashing on the rocks When hard times come Flashing alarms on their clocks, But their opportunity doesn’t knock Will you be there for them, to confide? Or will you consider running away and hide? Will you stand strong for them and abide? Will you help them to fight against the tide? When tall ones are bruised and beaten small When their backs are nailed against the wall When they strive hard and give their all When they’ve done all to stand, but yet they fall Will you stumble into their situation and stall? Or will you rise to the occasion and hear their call? Will you be bold enough to rescue Mary, Peter, and Paul? cj051407
