Teach Us To Number Our Days (Psalm 90) | Indie-Pop Worship Anthem | Scripture Set to Song

Teach Us To Number Our Days (Psalm 90) Based on Psalm 90 Life moves quickly. Days slip by, seasons change, and the years seem to disappear faster the older we get. Psalm 90 is Moses’ prayer for wisdom in the middle of our mortality—a reminder that while our lives are brief, God remains eternal and unshaken. This anthem-style indie-pop worship song pairs reflective verses with a soaring, stadium-sized chorus that asks God to help us live intentionally, love deeply, and spend our fleeting days on what truly matters. From quiet piano beginnings to explosive gang vocals and layered harmonies, the song captures both the fragility of life and the hope of living each moment in the light of eternity. “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12 If this song encouraged you, I’d love for you to like, comment, or share it with someone who needs this reminder today. Lyrics: [Verse 1] We turn back the clocks But You turn back the dust From forever to forever You remember us Morning comes blazing Even when we fade A thousand years to You Just a passing day [Pre-Chorus] We run in circles Chasing all these clocks we made You hold the hourglass We're just the sand that slips away [Chorus] Teach us to number our days Teach us the weight of a breath Fill up the years that we waste With love that is stronger than death From early light To the long Late gray Turn all this time To a heart that stays Oh Teach us to number our days Teach us to number our days [Verse 2] You have seen our secrets Every hidden room All the words we swallowed All the silent wounds Morning brings Your mercy Even through the ache We wither like the grass But Your kindness stays [Pre-Chorus] We burn like candles Dripping down in quiet rage You write the story On a wider Wilder page [Chorus] Teach us to number our days Teach us the weight of a breath Fill up the years that we waste With love that is stronger than death From early light To the long Late gray Turn all this time To a heart that stays Oh Teach us to number our days Teach us to number our days [Bridge] Satisfy us early Before the shadows come Let the work of our hands Shine in the setting sun Let the children after us See a brighter flame Let Your beauty break on us Let it bear our name (oh) [Chorus] Teach us to number our days Teach us the weight of a breath Fill up the years that we waste With love that is stronger than death From early light To the long Late gray Turn all this time To a heart that stays Oh Teach us to number our days Teach us to number our days
