Need wisdom?

You made us a promise
If wisdom we lack
Just ask and believe
There will be no lack

My years that are left
Are less than those past
Be clear with me Lord
That the last may be best

The years that I live
The greater I know
That what I accomplish
Is really your show

All that I have
Was given to me
What I accomplish
Is what I can see

But what I can see
Is one of those gifts
Along with my will
And my strength, and my whit

You have made me as one
Who needs to contribute
Who lives with ideas
And gives you my tribute.

Flowing in your gifts

What do we do
With the time that we have
Tells the great story
Of our life – is it sad?

Or does it proclaim
A joy that comes up
Bubbling forth
Overflowing our cup

Does it proclaim
Our life on the earth
A statement of glory
Or challenge of worth

How much is a choice
How much is a gift
How much is our purpose
That we are to live

Give it a try
Tune in to that voice
Quiet your thoughts
Cut back, it’s a choice

The ancients they knew
That life on this earth
Has greater dimension
Has very great worth.
