My Favorite Day
O’ blessed Day of sweetest rest,
day of the week I love the best,
When from life’s rush and frantic fray
I, for a time, can steal away.
I put aside my worries and my cares.
Worship God with songs and prayers.
Enjoy sweet fellowship with those I love.
Great food, good friends – gifts from above.
Time in Nature, God’s Second Book.
Fresh air, warm sun, a babbling brook.
Service, sharing, giving back.
Getting my mind back on track.
But on this day, what I cherish most
is time with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
For ‘tis their love which sets us free,
gives us the hope of eternity.
So, when this day ends at sunset,
refreshed, renewed, my soul reset,
I’ll go forth to work and play
and look forward to next Sabbath Day.
