A Thousand Years Ain't Nothin' to You – A Blues Song from Psalm 90

** Psalm 90 is one of the most unique psalms in the Bible-it is the only one attributed to Moses, the man of God. Written in the wilderness, this psalm reflects on the eternal nature of God and the fragility of human life. Moses had seen generations of Israelites perish in the desert due to their disobedience. He understood the brevity of life, the weight of sin, and the need for God's mercy.

In this prayer, Moses pleads with God to teach us to number our days, to satisfy us with His love, and to establish the work of our hands. It is a psalm of wisdom, repentance, and a deep longing for God's presence.

This blues song, "A Thousand Years Ain't Nothin' to You," brings this ancient prayer to life with raw emotion, heartfelt cries, and the weight of time pressing down. The blues, like this psalm, understands suffering, longing, and redemption.

** Psalm 90 (World English Bible - WEB)

A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.

1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
12 So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.

** Lyrics: "A Thousand Years Ain't Nothin' to You"

(Verse 1)
Lord, You been our dwelling place,
Through every storm, through time and space.
Before the mountains rose up high,
Before the earth, before the sky.

(Verse 2)
A thousand years ain't nothin' to You,
Like yesterday when it's all through.
We fade like grass in the mornin' sun,
By evening time, we're dead and gone.

(Chorus)
So teach me, Lord, to count my days,
To walk in wisdom, know Your ways.
Oh, satisfy my soul at dawn,
With love that lasts when night is gone.

(Verse 3)
You see the sins we try to hide,
A shadowed heart, a foolish pride.
We waste our years like a breath, a sigh,
Before Your throne, no soul can lie.

(Bridge)
Relent, oh Lord! How long, how long?
Have mercy now, make weak hands strong.
Turn our sorrow into light,
Shine Your favor, make things right.

(Verse 4)
Seventy years, maybe eighty we stand,
But trouble and toil weigh heavy on man.
Oh, let Your work in us be shown,
Your glory passed to those unborn.

(Outro)
Establish, Lord, the work we do,
'Cause a thousand years ain't nothin' to You.
Yeah, a thousand years ain't nothin' to You…
