Lord Teach Us Our Morality - Psalm 90: 12

Come before the Lord in deep humility
looking for instruction to be wise
praying that God would teach you
that you are mortal trusting for God's prize

That prize comes after life's end
during this life, there are just some days
one day this habitation will surely end
then you'll be called before God for your say

If you've not trusted in God's salvation
there's only hell and destruction to come
be sure to believe in God's dear son
number well your days to know the correct sum

Remember only a fool says there's no God
believe with your whole heart in God's inspired word
for that word is eternal never to end
to reject such divine lines is absolutely absurd

God is immortal forever and shall always be
we are mortal at best while on this earth
so prepare for that day when time will be no more
living for God fully for all you're worth

("So teach us to number our days
    that we may get a heart of wisdom.")
Psalm 90: 12 (ESV)

I ventured back to soup to tell of the abundant thanks I have for the nurturing care He bestowed to continue with the life of my husband this year, and His constant care to return him to good health. Your poem is a reminder to us all to trust in the Lord for all we are worth. He is the light of the world, and Gordon your poem says it beautifully. Peace be with you my friend, from Wen.
