Sabbath

We all need time

A constant of life

Like an unrelenting tide

It heals yet it binds

But I don't like time

We all need change

For we can't remain

In the structures we've made

We need to rearrange

But I don't like change

We all need quiet

A little respite

To break the rhythm and the rhyme

When you're feeling tired

But I don"t like quiet

We all need love

Its all that we've got

But it takes a lot of trust

And I don't have enough

So I don't like love

Tell me why we treat time like it's punishment

Always rushing from the start to the end of it

Racing from the womb to the tomb

We don't leave any room to just (take on) a little bit of ease

We were born into the fray

No time to wait

A pit stop ain't got no time to stay

And we wonder why we cannot dream

Well maybe we should close our eyes and see

We set our affections on the prize of the toil

Forsaking His love as we relent to the soil

The ground wasn't made to be the master

A crown only reserved for the Father

Are there not hundreds of reasons

To turn all of my gaze upon Jesus

I am beginning to see

Time's never wasted when I'm resting in Thee

Are there not hundreds of reasons

To turn all of my gaze upon Jesus

I am beginning to see

Time's never wasted when I'm resting in Thee
