The lyric story and scriptures that inspired track No. 5 on my upcoming release, 'at Dusk' :: a scripture-inspired song-prayer ... for the wisdom to know when to press in and when to pivot, and for the faith that whole-hearted endurance requires.
Number of Days • Rebekkah The Band
WHO COULD IMAGINE THAT YOU WOULD SLIP ON SKIN,
COME HERE AS A HUMAN TO WALK WITH US AGAIN
THE ANGELS GASP TO SEE IT,
THE FOLLY OF GOD IN FLESH
THE WISE IN HEART BELIEVE IT
AND ENTER INTO REST
NOBODY USED TO KNOW THE DEPTHS OF YOUR GRACE
OR THE HONOR YOU WOULD BESTOW ON THE FOREIGNER WHO SEEKS YOUR FACE
NOW WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD
AND THE MIND OF CHRIST TO SHOW US WHAT IS OURS
LORD, TEACH US TO KNOW OUR NUMBER OF DAYS
DON’T LET TIME ERODE OUR HOPE AS WE WAIT
YOU PROMISE YOU’LL REWARD THOSE WHO REMAIN
SO PLEASE TEACH US TO HOLD PATIENCE WITH OUR FAITH
~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~
