Sunday Morning Coming Down ..

"But tell me why:

Please tell me why

That's the cry of one and all

"Don't be forever the raging rebel ---

Rejecting for notoriety sake what God has put in place

For sinful man,  and after the fall?"

"Oh not at all my friends" I say

"The Sabbath was indeed God's glorious way

of gifting man with a stopping day --

A picnic-oasis surrounded by the sands of

work and laws and blood and pain

"So Saturday was made for man

A shadow portending God's powerful plan

A promise of even better things ahead

when man could cease from his own head

.... enter in and rest and be forever blest

... and at one with the son

in daily communion"

"So tell me why: Please tell me why

Can you still not see, Vincent?  (Its so plain to me)

God's promised  plan has now been revealed: 

We call it ..( Ta raa, Ta raa )...Sunday!

Magnificent ..I'm sure you'll agree!

By simply changing one day

God has signalled that the old is gone

Praise God the new is here to stay

So join with us tomorrow?

Let's worship!  It's  Sun-day"

{I love these folk and know we're joined as one

They know He actually died was buried and rose again

for each and every mother's son.

And in the light of Calvary all else is trivial.

The woman at the well did not understand

how not in this mount or over there

but Jesus took her gently by the hand explaining that ..

"coming is the day when true worship will be in spirit and in truth"}

and so I need your prayers today

that the gentleleness of Christ would guide my way

as I seek to explain, over and over again .. 

" there now remains a 168 hour weekly rest

for all the homeless sons of men!"

And even three quarters of a million Sundays after Constantine

I still refuse the lie,  that 14% of my week belongs to God

and 86%  to going on my own and not so merry religious way

"Dancing {In The Dark}" at every God forsaken Lughnasa!
