Analysis of Might And Power Of God 1
If I had the power and might of God
There would be in the kingdom divisions
Animal, vegetable and mineral too
Each classified system taking its cue
Environmental balance will renew
Places in the sun give creatures their due
Reciprocal support will then accrue
Avoiding the untoward collisions
If I had the power and might of God
There would be an unlimited freedom
Even with "freewill," no reason to kill
Infringement on none when seeking a thrill
Mutual regard as large dreams each fulfill
Placid pursuits like a drop in a rill
Wishing all people the best and goodwill
Achieving confidence, poise and aplomb
