Numbered Days

Sixteen thousand-some-odd days

Left for me to give You praise

On this earth that You have giv’n

Then eternal life I’m liv’n

So, how shall I use each one

‘Til this life on earth is done

Lord, I’ve made so many plans

Yet, my time is in Your hands

Help me to surrender all

Lest to self and sin I fall

Pride, greed, hate and all the rest

Each of them thinks he knows best

But, it is Your way divine

That will keep my heart all Thine

Sixteen thousand-some-odd days

Lord, teach me to know Your ways.
