Premium Member Sabbath in the Holy Land

  The Sabbath has descended on the Holy Land
    Seven million Jews ‘midst a miracle in sand

  Tonight all look to the sky 
    to spot missiles aimed at the heart of God’s eye

I can only plead that I am, indeed
A Creature of such Habits
Lose myself to find The Key,
And keep it on the Sabbath!
Illusions trick me, am never free-
Like a Hat pulled from the Rabbit...

Time for prayer and praise, and the magic of a peek
   At the Sabbath Queen, unveiling Heavenly mystique
