Numbering Our Days - Psalm 90: 12
The psalmist speaks to His God
asking that they would have learned
to count their days on earth
so wisdom be able to be discerned
He recognises the evil there is
on the earth all around
that hastens on to the end
waiting for heavens sound
Learn not to cling to anything
be loose to things of earth
value all of God's goodness
remembering it's true worth
Keep your focus on God alone
for He knows all our days here
our first to our very last
so we must live with Godly fear
So live in such a way
that God would answer this prayer
having the Lord's peace within
knowing His continual constant care
AUTHOR NOTES: So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90 v. 12
