Remembering the Sabbath – v3


In this story of Christ
the disciples afraid
his power displayed
calming the storm with a word

the Word of scripture
God’s commandments
wisdom of the Psalms

Our frenzied lives
a choice, in not believing
in taking on ourselves

The trials of life
Rest in the Lord
remembering the Sabbath

The Creator of all
the Spirit within us
calming your spirit
wanting you at peace
