“Behold, Thou hast made my days as a handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.” “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.” “The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.” “We know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ... For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.” “As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” “Whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.” “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” “My times are in Thy hand.”
My life belongs to the Lord;
It is His to take or stay,
For “my times are in Thy hand,”
Safe there from day to day.
