The Seventh Day

-- Original, human-written lyrics -- [Verse 1] Rushing, pushing, driving, going here and there, helping, crying, screaming, so heavy in the air. A week has seven days, not one more or one less, we stumble in a haze, with ever-increasing stress. [Verse 2] Each moment is so precious, never to be wasted, we want God to bless us, for heaven's peace to be tasted. The world says go faster, but there's another way, a skill that we must master, by taking off a day. [Pre-Chorus] It's in the fourth command, keep the Sabbath holy, It doesn't need to be grand, just go nice and slowly. [Verse 3] Don't laden it with rules, the trappings of mankind, empty laws of fools, who to meaning they are blind. Just take a good deep breath, and from work disconnect, as Jesus did in death, upon our life reflect. [Chorus] One day of seven paid, somehow it just works out, all things in one week made, from absence more will sprout. So take that seventh day, and from your work just rest, it will all be okay, He knows what's for us best. [Final Chorus] It's in the fourth command, keep the Sabbath holy, It doesn't need to be grand, just go nice and slowly. So take that seventh day, and from your work just rest, it will all be okay, He knows what's for us best. He knows what's for us best. Just go ahead and rest.
