'So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. ' (Hebrews 4:9-10)
Part 1
Dance monkey dance
Leave nothing here to chance
Hold tightly to those reigns
Find comfort in my chains
Destroy all happenstance
Live by brawn and brains
No gain without the pains
Look unto the ants
Make sure that I advance
Praise the one who strains
To the victor goes the spoil
No glory without the toil
Work harder and I win
Stay fit and super thin
Tightly wound into a coil
Time and time again
avoid the deadly sin
Rest makes all things spoil
thistles in the soil
When did this begin
So tired and so weary
My life is dull and dreary
By the sweat of my face
I keep up this pace
Leisure makes me leery
To win I run the race
Have to earn my place
No time to be so cheery
Eyes stay glazed and bleary
No one here gives grace
Nothing comes for free
Everything has a fee
God only helps those
Who provide their own clothes
live by practicality
The lazy take repose
For as the saying goes
I have to face reality
And eat the same tree
That Adam and Eve chose
Burnt and heavy laden
Forlorn and God-forsaken
I hear a voice say, “come”
Where did that come from?
I must have been mistaken
Feel alone and numb
Again I hear, “come.”
My wits are quickly shaken
My heart begins to waken
And grow warm like drinking rum
Part 2
The voice softly whispers
Calm like gentle rivers
Yet sharper than an arrow
Dividing joint from marrow
A voice I know delivers
“I am the path so narrow,
I will plough and harrow
I am the greatest giver
You will never shiver
Look unto the sparrow
I will never leave you
Nor will I forsake you
I have always been here
Come to me and draw near
I know what you have been through
No longer need you fear
My love is like a spear
Piercing what you knew
The lies that cloud your view
and make you dull, austere
In me there is repose
For your soul and woes
I am meek and humble
Rest from all your trouble
Lie down in green meadows
Your life was once a jumble
But I will take your struggle
Gloom for joy transposed
Beauty from ashes I compose
And make glory from your trouble
My life is yours to live
All things I freely give
I am the Lord Almighty
The one who gives so freely
I have no hidden motive”
His face gleams so brightly
Electrifies excites me
With a new perspective
Day by day I now live
Peace down in my psyche
His love is so tender
Washing me in splendor
How did I once miss this
Every word is pure bliss
To His love I now surrender
And fall into His kisses
Could sit here and just listen
To my love, my mentor
He is now my center
Taste and see, He is delicious
