So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12
âFor what is a man profited
if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul?â
Matthew 16:26
WE MEASURE LIFE by length of days,
And extend its span by ingenious ways;
But when life will actually end;
Is ultimately in the Creatorâs hand.
What then should be our goal?
To gain the world and lose the soul;
Or walk with God in humility;
And set our sight on eternity?
God measures life by how we live;
The time to Him we give;
By purity of heart;
And the blessings we impart.
Teach us Lord, to number our days;
To think Your thoughts and walk Your ways;
To gain a heart of wisdom;
For the glory of Your kingdom.
