(Isaiah 58: 13, 14)
It’s Sabbath in my soul -
An endless time of spiritual nourishment,
Encouragement and reflection on God’s grace;
It’s a pleasant state of mind and retirement,
A safe harbor from life’s race.
It’s Sabbath in my soul -
I walk and talk with God.
He reassures me that my life is in his hands;
I do not have to fear tomorrow,
Today’s worries are no match for the Master’s plan.
It’s Sabbath in my soul -
While all else around me is in a chaotic state
And earth’s realities try to overtake me;
I clasp my hand tightly in His hand,
The hand scarred by His victory.
It’s Sabbath in my soul -
Once I asked for a vacation,
In His omniscience -
He provided me with sweet communion;
I dream of the restoration of the incessant Sabbath,
My reward for fighting in a battle already won.
