Prayer For Wisdom
Lord teach me to count wisely,
And to number my days.
Help me to redeem the time,
And serve you gladly, always.
Life is short, and death is sure.
I must work while it is day.
For soon the night will come,
And my soul shall fly away.
Lord, my days here are set.
Let me measure carefully my time.
May I give honor to Your name,
And always walk by your plumb line.
