Recuperate With Christ- We Give Our Sins Away

We did not come to church today
To show how great we've been
We came to give our sins away
And recuperate with Him

We come with hearts grown heavy

And worries that would to stop us

Sometimes we feel so empty

That we lay our souls before Jesus

For his holy table is there

His emblems covered with cloth

Then the sacrament we share

To receive His atoning grace

His grace to keep on going

To endure unto the end

To be seen clean, ever growing

To feel light and love within

Rest and Feel

Rest from all daily labors
And that which weighs you down
Turn to our loving Savior
Feel His Spirit more around

Another Week is Gone

Another week is gone,
Another Sabbath, too.
I know I'd be more strong,
If I planned the things I do!

Co Creator

You are like the Savior
As a co- creator
On the Sabbath as you rest
Think on how you have been blessed.

Have you ever considered part of the purpose of the Sabbath might be to sit back and enjoy the creations you have made and appreciate all the wonders of life?  

Save This Wife

The Sabbath is a gift to us
A respite from daily life
On this day we receive Jesus
And are renewed, save this wife...

For a little one just cried 

And she had to take him out 

In the foyer, here she tried 

But still all could hear that shout 

So she walked down the hall 

Exhausted all the while 

She, too, wanted to bawl 

For this mother, it's a trial!

Oh Sisters,
This is the sweetest talk ever!

But I wonder if I've been overlooking one of the most important things that I can do on the Sabbath—namely, help my wife actually have a Sabbath day. President Nelson recently said that he believes that God wants “us to understand that the Sabbath was His gift to us, granting real respite from the rigors of daily life and an opportunity for spiritual and physical renewal.”

Drama Free Zone

Sometimes I just want to say,
"It's Sunday and I made it!"
For the dramas of life wash away
As Christ's light more than fades them!

Sunday is a drama free zone
Where we can escape from daily strife
For all these things Christ did atone
For renewing peace He is THE Life!

The Life
The Light
The Way

If There Ever Is A Time

If there ever is a time
To cut myself off from the world
It's on the Sabbath when I'm
Preparing to sup with THE LORD

The creator of all things
Even the Heaven and the Earth
Here ... His spirit He brings
To offer hope and rebirth

To refuse such a gift
Or to treat it as slight
Is the worst offense to give
He is life's source for light!

His body and His blood
Is glorious and pure
It is His gift of love
From our sins, it's our cure

Repent and be humble
Reflect on each thought
On your sins, how you stumble?
Partake to be taught!

The World Can Wait

The king shut the gate
On the eve before the Sabbath
Yes, the world can wait
Make it more than just a habit

Nehemiah 13:19
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.

Put Your Worries on Hold

PUT YOUR WORRIES ON HOLD
It is the Sabbath Day!
Peaceable things unfold
And renew you today!

Pause, in Peace,
On the Lord's day.
Stress can cease.
Rest it away.

Draw Apart From What the World Offers

Draw apart from what the world offers
and enjoy a Sabbath rest.
Pray. Receive light to share with others.
Sup with the Lord and be blessed!

The Sabbath is Set Apart

The Sabbath is set apart
As a day of rest and prayer
To think and feel from the heart
To give thanks and know God's care

The Sabbath is a Holy Day

On the Sabbath morning
I felt within my heart
The Lord's day was holy
And purely set apart.
As a heart that rejoices
We speak of heavenly things,
Then join as choir voices
And with the angels sing.

Here, I can rest from labors
And duties found in life.
I with my best endeavors
Have come to receive light.
With full dedication
And tender growing feelings
I offer up affection
And ponder my life's dealings

What I learn from a talk
I can know that it's true,
If in right paths I walk
A warmth confirms anew.
We treasure up wisdom
By teaching each other.
We learn of God's kingdom
Here one with another.

As a memorial
We take the sacrament.
His life, death and burial
Gave us the atonement.
And this we must think on
As we partake of His emblems;
And, His ascension
Gives reasons to sing hymns!

I try to be careful
And partake worthily;
With a contrite heart, full
Turned to Him willfully.
We receive blessings
Each week that we partake.
Our sins, we're addressing
As we commemorate.

Now the day is not through
Once we attend meetings.
This we do not simply do
For that would be fleeting.
We each have a calling
And need not to condemn.
The world would want us falling
Though, we're a light for them.

We must each wash our robes
And seek they become white.
We have heavenly hopes
And want to do the right.
We've got to arrive at
A state that's ever pure.
If we are on the right track.
Yes, we can know for sure!

May our pioneers inspire
Us, to press on despite peril.
The days became more dire
For we are being tried as well.
Like them, let's be committed
To stop each Sabbath day.
With God's laws on our hearts, written
We trust on and obey.
