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.

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

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.

For our child learns to walk
In our footsteps each day
Let us follow the Master
Lest they learn other ways.

Seems marriage today
Lacks God at the center
Now, it’s all about ‘me’
With no plan, to surrender.

So, serve one another
And think of their best
Forgive, when they fail you
And try not to test.

Instead of commitment
Honoring God, and spouse
We’re caught up, in a culture
Pleasing ‘self’ and our doubts.
