Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

I’ve spent my life in endless chase Through noise and gold and fleeting grace A thousand paths beneath my feet Yet none have made my soul complete

They say we live just 30K Each dawn a gift that fades away I counted days like precious grains But still felt hollow through the gains

I searched in work, in love, in fame In chasing dreams and making names But nothing stayed and nothing grew Into a truth I always knew

For only in the still, the small The whispered voice behind it all I found the One who made the sky And saw my worth through His own eye

Not in the noise not in the race But in the warmth of boundless grace In God’s own love I found the light That gave my fleeting days their height

So if I live just one more day Let it be spent in Heaven’s way For of the 30,000 here It’s love divine that draws us near
