Lenten Gleanings 2011: Wisdom Hour being Midafternoon

Teach Me to Die Before I Die


All day I learn to die little deaths

Killing sinful thoughts and deeds.

In that dying,

Life is released.



I raise the candle of waning light

Pasuing in my work to illumine Truth

To see what was before,

What must now come.


Resolute in the knowledge

I turn my face toward the darkness

To move forward in wisdom

While the last rays of light

Slant towards evening.


With slow purposeful steps

My soul embraces God's sacred trust.


I lay aside my labors,

Willing, by God's grace,

To end this day well

And at peace.
