The Importance of God's Day - Ezekiel 20: 12
God has since creation declared
that a sabbath day is for our good
for as He rested a day after creation
so by His example, we also should
As God did His work in six days
then showed to take a day of rest
so all work is not at all good
we all need rest for our best
We owe God a day of worship
in thankfulness to His mercy and grace
bowing before Him receiving His love
praise His name before His dear face
Under the law iot was the seventh day
but when Christ rose from the dead
signifying the first day He blessed
now Sabbath is Sunday as Jesus said
God shows the importance of His sabbath
showing His lordship over them all
for He is the sanctifier of His own
showing the sign behind His call
("Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths,
to be a sign between me and them, that they
might know that I am the LORD that sanctify
them. " )
~ Ezekiel 20:12
