It is the Sabbath
our time to come together in worship
to rest and enjoy God’s world
and the company of others
to hear God’s Word
to bring our prayers of delight and pain
of joy and heartache
even where they burden us so much
we feel we can no longer stand up straight
for Christ is here
present among us through the Holy Spirit in and with us
Christ is here
gently touching us, setting us free and making us whole
to worship and serve him
this Sabbath day
and all our days
Amen
