Chords for Song of the Week 2019 – #3 – “Number of My Days” (feat. Joni Eareckson Tada)

Well, when you sent it to me, of course it's a favorite verse of mine, Psalm 90 verse 12,
teach me to number my days, O Lord, that I might apply my heart to wisdom.
I had gotten a diagnosis of _ reoccurring cancer.
I had cancer eight years ago and it's back.
And when you sent me the song, it was, oh Jesus, how we are but a wisp of smoke, fading
vapor here today, gone tomorrow.
And so I better count, I better number, I better treasure my days.
Things I don't count, I waste.
You know, but we're so good at counting calories.
We're so good at counting, you know, the money in the bank.
We're so good at counting, you know, everything that needs to be counted and how many eggs
are in the refrigerator.
But we so fail to count our days, which are probably the most precious things we have.
And so the song is such an anthem for me [E] right now, going through radiation and fighting
this cancer, you know, to count my days.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ I [A] am counting [F#m] the number of [A] my days, _ [F#m] _ [D] that I [A] may gain a heart of [F#m] wisdom _ [G] and follow in [D] God's ways.
[B] It won't [A] be long, I will be gone.
[C#] I'll see Him face to [D] _ _ _ [Dm] face. _

[D] I [C] will see [F] the [C] one who knew me [B] before _ [E] _ [F] I was _ [Fm] known.

_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
Lord, help me see the world that's yet _ awaiting me.

Help me release all these temporary _ things so I [Am] can find [G] your _ peace.
[F] And give away your [Em] love.
[C] And I'll be [Dm] counting.
