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 how to set, our heart anew
To keep abiding in Jesus’ vine?
Not entrapped in carnal thoughts
Instead, be fixed on things divine.

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

For all Scripture, is God-breathed
Given by, divine inspiration
And is profitable for instruction
For conviction of sin, for correction.

And so in spite, of dark days
Facing God’s ways, not understood
Amidst adversity, we would not choose
Keep trusting God, all for our good.

May the fear of God, fall
Upon multitudes, we pray
A great turning, revival
We cry out, night and day.

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.

Do restore us, as a beacon
To shine forth, Good News
Bring the Gospel to the nations
Before Judgment…must choose!

“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”
