They were serving the Sabbath
the law
and their rules
But the Sabbath
and the law
were to point us to You
We've made an idol
of the thing
You gave us
to bless
Instead of it
serving us
we now
serve it.
If we so easily become
slaves
to the Sabbath rest
What do we do
with the bread?
~
The Bread is to nourish
The Sabbath is to rest
The temple is to worship
The King - to lead and fight for us
The Priest to make a sacrifice
acceptable to the Lord...
~
I
wanted to be Lord
myself.
I
wanted to be
in control
But
I
must worship something
so
I worship
the gifts.
and
I work and work and work
to serve
what was supposed
to give
us rest
and I'm
too tired to love
or...
maybe
it's just an excuse.
Maybe
it's just an excuse
not to love.
~
But...
If I could remember
who is Lord
of the Sabbath
and the bread
maybe
I could finally
and love
and learn
to rest.
