So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  Genesis 1:27

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.  Mark 10:45

Life Means So Much by Chris Rice

Every day is a journal page

Every man holds a quill and ink

There's plenty of room for writing in

All we do and believe and think

So will you compose a curse

Or will today bring blessings

Fill the page with rhyming verse

Or some random sketchings?

Teach us to count the days

Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways

Somehow our souls forgot

Life means so much

Life means so much

Life means so much

Every day is a bank account

And time is our currency

So no one's rich, nobody's poor

We get twenty-four hours each

So how are you gonna spend

Will you invest, or squander

Try to get ahead

Or help someone who's under?

Teach us to count the days

Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways

Somehow our souls forgot

Life means so much

Life means so much

Life means so much

Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life and don't you think giving His own would prove the worth of yours and mine?

(Online lyric sites usually have quoted the words I have underlined wrong, giving the verse an entirely different and unscriptural meaning wherein our worth is earned not given by God...)

Teach us to count the days

Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways

Somehow our souls forgot

Life means so much

Every day is a gift you've been given

Make the most of the time every minute you're living
