Days and Destinies


"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom... And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us" (Psalm 90:12,17).  "He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster" (Proverbs 18:9).  "Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon him while He is near" (Isaiah 55:6).  "Walk circumspectly... Redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:15,16). 

There is a number of our days: 
We wake each day to one day less. 
O may we give to God our praise
Each day we live with thankfulness.

Our days on earth should have a goal
Beyond a weary sense of duty:
Let Christ, the Savior of our soul,
Reflect in us His wondrous beauty! 

How costly is a day that's wasted
Which nevermore shall reappear.
May our obedience be hasted,
While opportunity draws near. 

O Lord, our days on earth are few;
Eternal destinies are long! 
May each day be redeemed for You
And orchestrated as Your song.
