Sacrificed on the altar,
the theology of progress
chasing after the newest thing
Sabbath rest, the trusting, the faith
sleep for the weary, peace for His children
lost in the frenzy, the urgency, self-imposed
the fast-paced life, business alone
We must stop, let go
be as Mary, at the Master’s feet
trust, believe, nothing to do
no urgent task
not human effort
greater than God
Rest for God’s children
ours, a commandment
sabbath day, holy rest
remembering who created
how he took time to savor
to enjoy the creation
Rest we must take
in worship of God
