Psalm 39 What is the Measure of My Days

"Breath In My Hands"

This song is inspired by Psalm 39, a prayer that wrestles honestly with the brevity of life, the weight of time, and the longing to see God clearly. It speaks from the tension between silence and confession, restraint and ache—asking the Lord to teach us how fleeting our days truly are so our hope can be set in Him alone.

Written in a soul-leaning folk-indie style, this song reflects the quiet moments when we feel the passing of time most sharply—when our striving fades, our strength thins, and we are reminded that every breath is held by God. It is a prayer to let go, to wait, and to trust His mercy to grow even in the ache.

“O LORD, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!”
— Psalm 39:4 (ESV)

May this song meet you in stillness, help you release what cannot last, and draw your eyes toward the God who remains when everything else fades.

Breathe. Release. Wait.
