Drawing nearer to God Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

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.

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.

Shall mount up, like eagles
Shall run, and not grow weary
They shall walk, and not faint
Know God, is ever with me.

Ask the Master to touch you
Your life to transform
To fill with His Spirit To His image conform.

When a door slams shut
There is rarely a ‘why’
God suddenly closes
‘Oft a puzzling surprise.

Do you yearn to draw nearer
So filled, by God’s Spirit?
Take this vessel, so faulty
Come restore LORD, and fill it.

So, in place of self-searching
And following our feelings
Rather obey the LORD
Be wise, wait upon His leading.

Since we were purchased, by His blood
The price, now fully paid
Sealed and stamped for eternity
We’re counted righteous, be not afraid.

And learn daily to forgive
Reflecting God’s love
For His goodness and kindness
Daily depend, from above.

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.
