Psalm 90 : When you need serious perspective.
Open Now Our Hearts To Wisdom
tune: Beach Spring
source text: Psalm 90
Open now our hearts to wisdom
Keep us numbering our days
Generations long behind us
Honored you, their dwelling place
As a blink our life’s duration
Just a dream of yesterday
Dust to dust our treasured lifespans
Age to age your perfect grace
We are children of our planet
We will all be quickly gone
Though we thrive with breath and heartbeat
Can we ever know how long
Open now our hearts to wisdom
Keep us numbering our days
Gladly mindful of eternity
Let us live a holy pace
You have been our sanctuary,
Faithful God, from age to age
Open now our hearts to wisdom
Keep us numbering our days
You a haven for our forebears
With the promise of your grace
Of our lives, God, make a legacy
For our children’s children’s faith
