One in whom we dwell -
From everlasting to everlasting…from generation to generation, You are God.
We are mortals who flourish and fade…mortals whom You return to the dust.
You envelop all time, and our lives are but a sliver of the thousand years You easily sweep away…a sliver that fades in and out like a dream…a sliver that comes to an end like a sigh.
Teach us to count our days and to fear You who holds our days.
As we reflect upon our days held in Your time, may we gain wise hearts.
Amen.
