Sabbath


 

Watermelon with shade tree afternoon

Best days of summer pass by too soon

Keep Sabbath on Sunday is dedication

Put aside our week old aggravation


 

Say a prayer, sing a Psalm with abandonment

Who is God to make the fourth commandment?

Expecting us to work six rest on seven

Eight straight no break not taste of heaven


 

Freed people rest, we're not slaves anymore

Every week we re-create ourselves

With Sabbath's holy idleness again
