Twenty-Four Hours

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16

Just these twenty-four short hours
That’s all we have today
Fourteen hundred forty minutes
To do and speak and pray
Eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds
Take wing and off they fly
Till out on our horizon
They turn and wave goodbye
 

These words we choose to speak
And the paths we walk upon
The tasks we put our hands to
Will never be undone
But prayer in faith has power
To redeem the least of these
And find in Father’s presence
A grace that will not cease

He is love and hope and goodness
Our Savior ever true
Through teach step He'll walk beside us
And guide us all night through!

His Light Shines All Night Through

Just twenty four short hours

Are what we have today

Fourteen hundred – forty Minutes

To do and speak and pray

Eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds

To never come again

The clock is ticking ticking

And just memories remain

The words we choose to speak

Will echo-echo on

And what we choose to do

Is somewhere written down

But God’s goodness and His mercy

Are Helpers ever true

Through the hours of our day

While His Light shines all night through

24 Hours

Just 24 hours is what we have today

Just 1,440 Minutes To do and speak and pray

86,400 seconds fly and never come again

Our 24 hours are passing and just memories remain

 

The words we choose to speak will forever echo on

And What we choose to do can never be undone

But hope and faith and goodness

And a Helper always true

Gives your 24 long hours

God’s light to shine in you!
