OUR DAYS ON EARTH ARE NUMBERED

 

 

 

OUR DAYS AN EARTH ARE NUMBERED,

FOR ME THEY ARE PASSING SO VERY FAST,

THAT LAST DAY WILL BE A BLESSING,

FOR THEN I'LL BE HOME IN HEAVEN AT LAST.

 

I PRAY THAT IT WILL NOT BE A SAD ONE,

FOR THOSE I LEAVE BEHIND,

FOR THEN MY LIFE WILL HAVE A MEANING,

THEN MY LIFE ON EARTH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBLIME

HOW MUCH LONGER, I DO NOT KNOW,

BUT I KNOW I'M COMING CLOSER TO THE END,

THEN OH LORD IF YOU WILL ONLY GUIDE ME,

FOR IN THE END, YOU WILL BE MY ONLY FRIEND.

I KNOW I HAVE BUT YET A LITTLE TIME,

FOR MY BODY IS WEAKENING SO VERY FAST,

YOU HAVE MADE TIME FOR EVERYTHING,

SO ON THIS EARTH I CANNOT LAST.

JUDGE ME NOT FOR MY WORLDLY DEEDS,

FOR I KNOW THAT I WOULD DESERVE A PLACE IN HELL,

BUT FORGIVE ME ALL MY SINS IN LIFE,

SO WITH YOU OH LORD, IN HEAVEN I MAY DWELL.

I KNOW IT'S NOT FOR ME TO KNOW,

SO I'LL WAIT FOR YOU TO CALL,

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT OF ME,

AND WITH YOUR GRACE, DON'T LET ME FALL.

I TRIED TO DO THE BEST I COULD,

AND THROUGH THIS LIFE I KNOW I FAILED,

BUT I KNOW YOU WILL FORGIVE ME,

FOR IT WAS OF MY SINS,

TO THE CROSS YOU WERE NAILED.

NOW COME MY LORD AND TAKE MY HAND,

PLEASE LEAD ME UP TO THE PROMISED LAND,

 THERE I KNOW I WILL BE WITH THE HEAVENLY HOST,

FOR 'TIS OUR SOULS, I KNOW YOU LOVES THE MOST.

I KNOW I'LL NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN,

 I PRAY THAT ALL THE SOULS ON EARTH ARE MY FRIENDS,

AND THAT YOU WILL TAKE THEM TO YOUR HOME ABOVE,

FOR I KNOW THAT IN HEAVEN THERE IS ONLY YOUR LOVE.
