Sabbath of Rest
Oh that I had wings of a doveTo fly to the snow capped mountainsThe fresh scented forestThe green rolling hillsOr the sea washed sandsTo enter into Your presenceThe Sabbath of restCeased from our own worksJust to sit at your feet and learn of YouAway from the throb of the worldThe clatter and the conflictThe ringing and poundingThe deadlines and strifeJust to ask You questionsAnd receive time enduring answersTo converse with YouTo share joys and hopesTo feel Your hand in mineAs we walk the rugged trailsLord You and IOne togetherPerfect loveLord I would that Your Holy SpiritControl my thoughtsDirect my actionsAnd give me wingsThe wings of a doveTo enter into Your Sabbath of rest

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.Joh 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14© Stephen Share 2007
