ONLY RESTING!

 

So they took His body down
The Man who said He was the Resurrection and the Life
Was lifeless on the ground now
The sky was red His blood, along the blade of night

And as the Sabbath fell, they shrouded Him in linen
They dressed Him like a wound
The rich man and the women, they laid Him in the tomb

Six days shall you labor, the seventh is the Lord’s
In six He made the earth, and all the heavens
But He rested on the the seventh, God rested
He said that it was finished and the seventh day
He blessed it, God rested

So they laid their hopes away
They buried all their dreams
About the Kingdom He proclaimed
And they sealed them in the grave
As a holy silence fell on all Jerusalem

And the Pharisees were restless, Pilate had no peace
Peter’s heart was reckless, Mary couldn’t sleep
But God rested

Six days shall you labor, the seventh is the Lord’s
In six Hhe made the earth, and all the heavens,
But He rested on the the seventh, God rested
He worked till it was finished
And the seventh day He blessed it
He said that it was good, and the seventh day
He blessed it, God rested

The sun went down, the Sabbath faded
The holy day was done, and all Creation waited.
