Measure My Days

Measure My Days

[Intro]
Measure my days
Measure my days

[Verse]
I want to guard my lips so that I will not sin with my mouth
I want to be mute when my enemies attack so I will not go south
My heart is a burning fire with wrong sinful fleshly desires
My mind wanders in a labyrinth of muses that leads to the mires

[Chorus]
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end

[Verse]
My days are but a few handbreadths lifetime nothing to you
My days are fleeting so quickly gone in a breath or maybe two
Like a shadow I try and store up treasures that will rust away
Trapped in the snare of transgressions to evil I always sway

[Chorus]
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end

[Bridge]
To know my brevity and the vapour of my being
To know in a glimpse stand before the all seeing
I will change my ways I will call out to you I pray
To give me strength and ability to change my ways

[Chorus]
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end

[Chorus]
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end
Measure my days Lord make me know my end
So that I may see how brief this life is to the end
