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.

Know our call, we are to love
To bless and serve, not withhold
Agape love, that keeps on giving
Without conditions, without control.

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

Cease expectations from the other
That we long, they will provide
Our deeper needs, seek from God
So, bear His fruit, in Him abide.

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

So may our hearts, love God and people
God, daily search me, know my heart
Reveal all barriers, or wicked ways
Cleanse, transform me, a new start.

Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?

A marriage, run dry
The tank, now on empty
Warm feelings, run cold
Though once, love was plenty.

God calls us together
In Christ, become one
Through Him, learn to love
That our marriage be won.

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.
