"My Sabbath Forever" - September 15, 2009
The second time my son asked me during bathtime what "Sabbath" meant while we were singing the song, this is how I described it.
...is the wonderful rest and peace that comes to us in Jesus because of His finished work for us!
The Lord the Saviour is her rest;
On Him she casts her cares;
By faith she leans upon His breast,
And banishes her fears.
- William Gadsby
"The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."- Zephaniah 3:17
Talk with me, Lord, Yourself reveal
Here as I live and move
Speak to my heart and let me feel
The burning of Your love
With You conversing I forget
All time and toil and care
Labor is rest and pain is sweet
If You, my God, are here
Here then, my God, graciously stay
And make my heart rejoice
My bounding heart with Yours will sway
As I hear Your sweet voice
You call me, Lord, to seek Your face
'Tis all I wish to seek
To attend the whispers of Your grace
And hear You in me speak
Let this my every hour employ
Till I Your glory see
Enter into my Master's joy
And find my heaven in You- Charles Wesley (adapted)
