To We Of Numbered Days

Where doubt releases demons

And despair is like a noose

Where unbelief is chief of sin

And faith seems but a ruse

Where knowledge leaves a gaping void

In quests of greater good

And life feels like a lonesome road

Of love misunderstood

When all the answers in the world

Breed questions undeterred

Then we need to get on our knees

And trust God’s faithful Word

When in our search for gladness, oh,

When in our search for peace

In this world rife with madness’ woe

(…the price of Unbelief)

When seeking, but not finding, or

When hoping without hope

When looking but not seeing more

Than dark through which we grope

When confusion strips passion

For life’s purpose pure and sure

The God of all salvation waits

To save, comfort, secure

When what we find is futile

Like vain chasing of the wind

When what binds us bleeds laughter dry

In corridors of skin

When worth of word and labor seems

To waste upon the street

And everywhere we turn our dreams

Are undone in defeat

When we have lost our appetite

For Truth that none can prove

We need to lay aside our pride

And trust God’s faithful love

…and as we let go of our will

His pow’r will intercede

For nothing in this world can fill

The soul’s undying need

Nothing will grant relief from grief

Or bring peace, hope or joy

Until Surrender stirs Belief

In what none can destroy

The Lord’s myriad mercies pour

Without number or law

And as we glimpse His gift of grace

He fills the heart with awe

God, full of pity loves us

Patient, kind and without blame

Though heathen mock His promises

They abide, all the same

His grace bids judgment tarry

For a world confused and lost

Born with a curse we carry

Until broken at the cross

Then, when the blood of Jesus

Washes clean the heart of sin

Redemption’s hope releases us

To precious peace within
