The Power Hour
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The power hour is for some
A source of woe and dread!
They just want to ignore it.
But they’re drawn to it instead.
If they could hide they would!
Or call to the rocks to fall on them.
When Jesus Christ returns,
They’ll all be there to bow before Him.
The wonder of the cross is that
It puts to death our sins.
And points the way to heaven
Where the righteous enter in!
All those who now deny themselves,
To kneel before the King.
Will someday stand there with Him!
And the cross will make them sing!
