This song encourages us to see all our feasting, mourning, love, work, and play as opportunities to worship God. Join Colin & Tyler as we examine the poetic language and Biblical references in this modern hymn.

Verse 1

If creation is longing for freedom and glory

Every winter that passes each forest that burns

There’s a cry from its heart come Lord Jesus return

Every season a temple of praise

Verse 2

If all history is marked by the sign of the cross

Then each year that I give You is gain and not loss

For in time all our empires just melt like the frost

May our days be a temple of praise

Chorus 1

Oh Ancient of Days You have chosen Your moments

All our feasting and mourning our love work and play

So when time is rolled up on that great Judgment Day

May my days be a temple of praise

Verse 3

I can rise to Your song on the wings of the morning

Walk with your Spirit in the cool of the day

I can pray with a child as the sun bows his head

May my days be a temple of praise

Chorus 2

O Lord now I see that my days are all numbered

All the feasting and mourning the love work & play

So when I lay down my life at Your feet for a crown

May eternity ring with Your praise

May eternity ring with Your praise

May my days be a temple of praise
