LORD, Teach Us to Number Our Days

So teach us to number
Our days, that we gain
Grant us, a heart of wisdom
For our lives, we must explain.

Laying hold, His every promise
We are a child, of God divine
Trust Him wholly, amidst our suffering
He will deliver, His perfect time.

Recalling Jesus, despised, rejected
Calls us, come follow Him
He knows well, all our sorrows
He gives us grace, comforts within.

Not avenging, separating
Building bridges, not walls
Not rejecting, but embracing
Seek Gods love, He answers all.

Though we have, our Constitution
Our Bill of Rights, at core
But overridden, by deception
By duplicity, and even more.

So midst our own, deep dark valleys
We oft’ recall, our wrong behavior
Yet focus not, upon our failures
But trust in Christ, our risen Savior.

So depending, not on others
Their affirmation and praise
And no matter our lot
Be a God-Vector, always.

“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”

O so deep, and wide and vast
Such forgiveness, mercy, grace
Given freely, Jesus paid
To restore us, to see His face.

Here is love, vast as the ocean
His loving kindness, like a flood
When the Prince of Life, our ransom
Shed for us, His precious blood.
