OUR DAYS AN EARTH ARE NUMBERED,

FOR ME THEY ARE PASSING SO VERY FAST.

MY 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,

THEN MY LIFE WILL HAVE A MEANING,

MY LIFE ON EARTH WILL HAVE BEEN DEFINED.

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 A 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.

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'VE FAILED,

I AM THANKFUL YOU WILL FORGIVE ME,

FOR BECAUSE 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 WHEN ALL SOULS ON EARTH ARE CALLED,

THAT YOU WILL TAKE THEM TO YOUR HOME ABOVE,

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