24 Hours of Power
24 Hours of Power
By Curtis Johnson
He was strong, loving, and merciful, and he was God
He made a beautiful world when everything was void
It was He who sat on a throne and gave valuable gifts to all
The red, yellow, brown, black, and white; the short and the tall
He gave allotments of shares in packages of twenty-four
Lose not, waste not, as so many others have done before
Take your God given shares and respect them highly
Invest your God given hours and use them wisely
24 hours per day; to live, to laugh, to care, to share, to learn, to love
So, treasure your package of twenty-four as long as you live
Your priceless measure is fixed; no more can He give
Sail the oceans wide, or climb the highest mountain; the choice is ours.
We may descend the deepest sea; or build the highest tower.
In the time allotted, we excel or fail; we have the power.
