Psalm 90:12-17

So teach us to count our days
   that we may gain a wise heart.


Turn, O Lord! How long?
   Have compassion on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
   so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
   and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be manifest to your servants,
   and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us,
   and prosper for us the work of our hands—
   O prosper the work of our hands!

Psalm by Bill Lynch

Lord, I need to change.
  Teach me your wisdom that I may follow you.
Lord, I need to change.
   Hear my confession as I repent of my sin.
Lord, I need to change.
   Have pity on me and save me as only you can.

Lord, I need to change.
   Bring me to the joy that is only in you.
Lord, I need to change.
   Give me the knowledge of the works you desire.
Lord, I need to change.
   Work in and through me day after day.

Lord, I need to change...

Prayer
Lord, change me into what you would have me be. As I turn to you and rely on your salvation, lead me in your will and your way that I may glorify you in all I do and say... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
