Have we ears to hear? Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Teach Us to Number Our Days

Lord, teach us to number;
Our days, that we apply;
Our hearts unto wisdom;
Lest wasted, dissatisfied.

And so do choose, to be forgiving;
To let go, of negative feelings;
Be replaced by God’s grace;
Let His love, bring in us healing.

So, are we acting out of love?
Or busy judging, criticizing;
Fault-finding, others’ failures;
Is our motive, their sanctifying?

So, spend much time, alone
With God’s Word, in prayer
Do ask, wait upon Him
Keep knocking, He will share.

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

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

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

Learn from Jesus, He set boundaries
Offered help, if ears were open
From the Pharisees, to His disciples
With all, that He had spoken.

So, seek first God’s kingdom
His righteousness, daily
Be filled by His Spirit
Spurn sin, as our enemy.

You said “seek My face”
My heart said to You
Your face will I seek
Hide not from my view.
