Sabbath In My Soul

(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.
