Oh Come - Poem


Oh Come –

Oh Come, Sabbath Day
    A rest, a reprieve from worldly woe
I answer my true Master’s call
    And unto Him I go

Escaping worldly madness
    And pursuit of mighty dollar’s goal
Saving elements more precious
    --My Soul

Oh Come, Sabbath Day
    Where I remember the bidding
Of him who gave me life
    And saves me from my desperate sinning

He cleanses my heart
    Of all unrighteous desire
And causes my hands to perform
    Only that, that’s required

Oh Come, Sabbath Day
    I long for thy peace
Where intense hunger is satisfied
    In a personal spiritual feast

I am filled to overflowing
    Restored and renewed once again
Remembering my purpose
    And into whose arms I came
