Power

We've just seen the beauty of lakes among the hills
With dams to harness energy and solve the Nation's ills!
Water driving turbines in series on the river
With dam on dam and lake on lake they really do deliver!
A monument to man's desire to feed a need for power
And when we have done it we feel that we're a star!
But when you just consider the power in lightning bolts
They dwarf our puny efforts at producing volts!
There's power that drives the universe way beyond our Ken
And we should consider it every now and then.
Our God has got the power to do all that we can see
He also had the power to save even you and me.
He sent His son to die for us and carry all our sin,
And open up the gates of heaven so we can enter in.
