A Psalm about the Shortness of Life
I said
O Lord
let me end the work
You gave to me to do.
So much
must yet be done
before the dark
so little time
remains
before I’m home.
You are eternal
God
a thousand years to You
is but a passing day.
You scatter ages
I hoard my hours.
Please understand
my need for time
to do Your will
complete my job.
I understand
He said
I do
I only had
three years
of days
and I was through.
-Joe Bayly, Psalms of My Life
