Before we seek solutions, may we be careful to seek Him first.
Our Daily Bread
Before we rush headlong into the nearest ‘next’ from Mercy’s throne
Before we try to bear the care that vexes visage with Unknown
Before the door to Evermore swings open once then shut for aye
Before we seek solutions to all this and more, may we first pray
Before the bloom that flourishes is stooped and withered with old age
Before our ways are set like stones cemented into Bygone’s stage
Before we waste our precious time lamenting what none can undo
May we with humble heart seek Him; each morning His mercies are new
Before we see God's promises fulfilled we must first yield and trust
Before the silver cord is severed and Soul’s husk returns to dust
Remember Your Creator, Mediator between He and man
Before the evil days draw nigh and tricks perception with a plan
