I wrote and recorded this song in Niamey, Niger, back in 2012. It is based on Psalm 39.

Lyrics:

Lord, let me know
What is my end
That I might see
That life is short

A strong wind blows
From east to west
So go men’s souls
Drifting away

I need your hand
I need your grace
That I might stand
And see your face

Lord, let me know
My end is near
That I might see
How fleeting is life

For every man is but a breath
That passes by and is no more

I need your hand
I need your grace
That I might stand
And see your face

Lord, let me know
What is my end
That I might see
How small I am

Like leaves that fall
Are the deeds of man
Formed in glory
Then cast away

Oh Lord, my God
You are my King
So I will sing
And hymn my God

Glory to God, King of kings
Glory be to the King of kings, yeah

Lord, let me know
What is my end
That I might see
How great You are
How great You are
How great You are
