A Sabbath Song

I woke up this morning 

And felt within my heart 

That the Sabbath is holy 

And truly set apart 

This is the Sabbath day 

And I intend to rest 

I'll put the world away 

And life's daily test

The Sabbath is holy

And truly given for us

From morning to evening

I've this day with Jesus

I know this day is given for man

And I will keep it the best that I can!

I'll go to church and prayerfully partake

Of His emblems to renew covenants I made

Here, I seek to repent of my sins

And have the Holy Ghost burn within

This day I am blessed to feel clean again

And renewed for the week to begin

I'll study the words of the living Son

And seek His peace and wisdom to come

Always closing with, "Thy will be done"

Trusting He knows what I should become

Yes the Sabbath day is given for man

That we might slow down and ponder God's plan

How we can live His laws the best that we can?

Renewed, through Jesus, we know where to stand
