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
