God's Instructions
Why is it in this world today with so much that we do
We follow man's instructions for the different things we choose
But when it comes to living in accordance with God's will
It seems our own imaginings are what we follow still
Imagining it's up to us to choose what we will do
Which one of His commandments we will follow as we choose
How we will give submission of our hearts or do our thing
When He's the One Who gave His all to give us everything
That's meant for our enjoyment in His Kingdom up above
Where all is joy and happiness surrounded by His love
That was and is available to every soul today
If we will simply set aside our will to do His Way
His Way that's in His Bible where instruction can be found
That sets us firmly in His Word that is His solid ground
Where winds of strife may beat us but our victory is sure
As therein lies His mighty grace through which we can endure
Each challenge that may come our way because we trust in Him
By keeping His commandments and the principles in them
That speak of Him as only God none other we will find
Who fills the hearts and souls of those who give Him strength and mind
And do not bow to idol things that have been made by man
As idols are a lifeless form that cannot understand
That faithful Christianity is not in forms or words
For forms and words will never truly draw us heavenwards
But that that draws us heavenwards is that time that is found
On Sabbath when we walk with God as one on holy ground
The Way He had intended back in Eden long ago
When only truth and beauty were the things the two did know
And then when fallen from God's grace He shared again with men
The great importance of that day in drawing them from sin
Into that oneness that's not found on any other day
As Sabbath is the only day God hallowed in that way
And will be ever honored through eternity with Him
As gathered in His Kingdom He will spend that time with them
Who faithfully laid all aside imagined once before
To be in oneness with our God the Way He made us for
Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:2-11; Isaiah 66:22-23
