Lord of the Sabbath

In the stillness of the Sabbath, Jesus speaks, 
Declaring His lordship, His divine peaks. 
Sovereign and mighty, He stands above, 
Reminding us of His boundless love.

The Sabbath’s true purpose, He makes clear, 
Not burdensome rules, but rest sincere. 
A time for restoration, for hearts to mend, 
In His presence, our spirits ascend.

God’s care for us, both body and soul, 
In times of need, He makes us whole. 
Compassion and mercy, He places first, 
Over strict laws, His love does burst.

The spirit of the law, more than the letter, 
In mercy and kindness, we find the better. 
Interactions with others, filled with grace, 
Reflecting His love in every place.

This lesson calls us to seek and grow, 
In understanding God’s will, to know. 
Open to renewal, our spirits rise, 
In His wisdom, we find our prize.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
