“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
note gray hairs
another wrinkle
an ache in bones
or problems with
private plumbing
forget a name or
why (oh why?) you
came into the room
then go back again
to seek missing key
the key to wisdom:
remember you die
but why (oh why)?
death comes by sin
it’s without & within
fear of death and
God’s wrath; we
deserve both yet
He bore worst of
both for you, me
believe in Son
sent from the One
in whom justice
and mercy meet;
our Father & home
Inspired by sermon on Psalm 90 today by Pastor John Lee.
