Number Our Days

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.  Psalm 90:12

Habakkuk 2:14

For the earth shall be filled - This is a singular and important verse. It may be first applied to Babylon. God's power and providence shall be widely displayed in the destruction of this city and empire, in the humiliation of Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel 4:37, and in the captivity and restoration of his people. See Newcome, and see Isaiah 11:9.

Secondly. It may be applied to the glorious days of the Messiah. The land of Judea should by his preaching, and that of his disciples, be filled with the knowledge of God. God's great design fully discovered, and the scheme of salvation amply explained.

Thirdly. It may be applied to the universal spread of the Gospel over the habitable globe; when the fullness of the Gentiles should be brought in, and the Jews gathered in with that fullness. The earth cannot perish till every continent, island, and inhabitant, is illuminated with the light of the Gospel.

- Clark's Commentary

All My Tears

When I die don't cry for me. In my father's arms I'll be. The wounds this world left on my soul. Will all be healed and I'll be whole.

Sun and moon will be replaced. With the light of Jesus face. And I will not be ashamed. For my Savior knows my name.

It don't matter where you bury me. I'll be home and I'll be free. It don't matter where I lay. All my tears be washed away.

Gold and silver blind the eye. Temporary riches lie. Come and eat from Heavens store. Come and drink, and thirst no more.

So weep not for me my friend. When my time below does end. For my life belongs to Him. Who will raise the dead again.

It don't matter, where you bury me. I'll be home and I'll be free. It don't matter, where I lay. All my tears be washed away.

It don't matter, they're washed away. It don't matter, they're washed away. It don't matter, they're washed away. Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

It don't matter where you bury me. They're washed away. They're washed away.

- Selah

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  Revelation 21:4
