Remembering the Sabbath – v4


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

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

Our frenzied lives
a choice, in not believing
in taking on ourselves
that which is God’s

The trials of life
beyond our control
Rest in the Lord
remembering the Sabbath

The Creator of all
calling to us, rest,
the Spirit within us
calming your spirit
wanting you at peace
