                                                             We’re here one day and gone the next
                                                              Teach me to number my days, Lord

                                                                   Like there’s no tomorrow
                                                              Teach me, Teach me to give, Lord,

                                                                No one is promised tomorrow

                                                           Oh Teach me, Lord, to number my days
