Ask now about the former days, ask before praying before this pause passes
Listen now about the former days, listen before rising before this story ends
Speak now about the former days, speak before forgetting before this memory fades
Prompted by this quote from Deuteronomy 4 verse 32. Place value on what has gone before. "Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?"
