TEMPLE OF TIME
[Verse 1]
God took six days and created the earth, the sun, the stars and the moon.
And on the seventh day he rested from the work of his hands.
Then he blessed it, made it holy as a gift for everyone,
To remind us where we came from and how this world began.
[Choir.]
Holy day, cleansed, set apart, sanctified.
Enter into joy divine in a temple of time.
[Verse 2]
See how he worships on the Sabbath, as was his weekly custom.
Feel the anger of the rabbis, for he would not observe their laws.
That’s why they killed him on a mountain as the sun was setting.
Yet he kept the Sabbath, even as they laid him in the grave.
[Chorus.]
Holy day, cleansed, set apart, sanctified.
Enter into joy divine in a temple of time.
[Verse 3]
Often abandoned and forgotten, violated and desecrated,
the holy fourth commandment still stands unchanged.
Hear the Father’s gentle call: If you love me, keep every one.
Not for merit or redemption, but because you love my Son.
[Choir.]
Holy day, purified, set apart, sanctified.
Enter into joy divine in a temple of time.
[Choir.]
Holy day, purified, set apart, sanctified.
Enter into divine joy in a temple of time.
[End]
You will find divine joy in this temple of time.
TEMPLE MADE OF TIME
[Verse 1]
God took six days and created earth and moon
the stars and sun
On the seventh day He rested from the work that He had done
Then He blessed it made it holy as a gift for every man
To remind us where we came from and just how
this world began
Enter in to joy divine in a temple made of time [Verse 2] See him worship on the Sabbath as His weekly
custom was
Feel the fury of the rabbis for He would not
heed their laws
So they killed Him on a hillside as the sun
began to fade
But He even kept the Sabbath as they laid Him
in the grave [Chorus] Holy day purified set apart sanctified
Enter in to joy divine in a temple made of time [Verse 3] Oft forsaken and forgotten desecrated and
profaned
But the sacred fourth commandment is still
valid and unchanged
Hear the Father gently calling if you love Me
heed each one
Not for merit or salvation but because you
love My son [Chorus] Holy day purified set apart sanctified
Enter in to joy divine in a temple made of time [Chorus] Holy day purified set apart sanctified
Enter in to joy divine in a temple made of time [Ending] You will find joy divine in this temple made of time
