He Meets Me There

7-13-02

In just six days God’s work was through,

Creation is finished, no more to do.

He took time to rest and look into the blue.

He sanctified the Sabbath for me and for you.

 

Was God really tired?  Did he need rest?

He did it for us so we would be blest.

Man is so weak, yet he thinks himself strong,

Since he ate of that tree

A lot has gone wrong.

 

Man changed the Sabbath

And replaced it with day one.

Did this authority come from the Son?

Did God sit back and say, “It’s ok?

I guess I will let you have it your way.

I guess you think you are bigger than me,

Ever since the day you ate of that tree.

At least you hope so, but soon we will see.”

 

Jesus said to the weary, “Come unto me,

Find rest for your soul, find sweet liberty.”

I did this and now I am free,

To share what the Lord of Sabbath means to me.

 

Like a car in the desert

Where the heat is cruel,

My energy is spent and I am needing fuel.

I stop at the station

That is called Sabbath day

For 24 hours that is where I stay.

HE MEETS ME THERE!

 

Like a car with a battery that is overtaxed

By the end of six days I am stuck in my tracks.

Thank God for the Sabbath, again I am relaxed.

HE MEETS ME THERE!

 

The tires a turnin’ on the hot ground.

They seem almost flat from racing around,

But the breeze of the Spirit

Blows gently around,

When on God’s Sabbath I simply lie down.

HE MEETS ME THERE!

 

 

Like a car in the heat when the water is low

The radiator boils, I better go slow.

How far to rest?  Stop?  Many don’t know.

It’s only six miles

To the Sabbath I go.

HE MEETS ME THERE!

 

Like a race car with dingy oil,

Tough competition causes you toil.

Seems like a track with no rest stop,

The world really keeps you right on the hop,

But God’s highway

Has an overnight stay,

And for 24 hours you can just lay

And bask in the Son, relax and pray.

He’ll give fresh oil and you need not pay,

Just enter his rest.

HE MEETS ME THERE!
