Sabbath Day

It was written that god worked for six days 
However he chose the seventh day to rest 
Growing up teachers were the chosen tutors 
However our father god is truly the best 

He teaches us to deal with situations calmly
And no matter what don't ever turn to wrath
He teaches us never to be led a stray by the devil
And that we should always walk along his path

In the pass he gave Moses his ten commandments 
So we could follow and not be led a stray 
It says that the devil was god’s most prized angel 
However don't be scared if you need help just pray

The devil cannot overcome you when you are with god 
Because he will defend you like a sword and shield 
You don't ever have to worry when you are one of god soldiers
Because he will be your defender on the battlefield 


Do not deny your lord and savior who created us 
Do not deny him like peter did when Jesus was placed at the cross
Because the moment you decide to turn your back on god 
My friend that's when your life becomes a total and complete loss

In this life it is assured that many obstacles will come your way 
But Jesus bore greater when he gave his life for us 
He did more than what any friend would ever do for you 
So he is the person that deserves your loyalty and trust 

Lord some have been derailed from your desired course
Take control I ask my lord and show them the right way 
They have time to party, drink and hang out with friends 
so I ask them please to respect and honor the Sabbath day
