marKojah -Holy Door Sabbath

[Intro]
[Deep male bass humming - "Mmm-low"]
[Lead speaks with authority]
Listen to me.
Stop. Just stop.

[Verse 1]
[Call and Response Style]
(Lead): You say He hears me on a Tuesday...
(Group Response): True, it is true.
(Lead): You say I’ll find Him on a Friday...
(Group Response): True, it is true.
(Lead): But you’re missing the Holy Door...
(Group): The Sabbath Door!
(Lead): It is the most ignorant thing we say...
(Group): Oh, listen to the Word!

[Chorus]
[Full African Male Harmony - Wide and Powerful]
So keep all the good work, and hard as it may be,
Look forward to the Sabbath for it is our day.
The day the Lord Jesus rest, and God rested in it.
Blessed be the day and all that observe it.

[Verse 2]
[Rhythmic Bass Drone]
Matthew saw the pattern, he saw the Holy track,
(Group: He saw the track!)
A custom kept in rhythm, Jesus didn't look back.
If the Master walked the path, why do you turn away?
(Group: Why turn away?)
If my Jesus kept the hours, how can you skip the day?

[Chorus]
[Grand Choral Harmony]
So keep all the good work, and hard as it may be,
Look forward to the Sabbath for it is our day.
The day the Lord Jesus rest, and God rested in it.
Blessed be the day and all that observe it.

[Bridge - Paul's Story]
[Slow, solemn, building in volume]
Even Paul, the new creature,
Preached that the Rest remains for the people!
It is still there!

[Verse 4]
[Very low, fading African choral hum]
[Lead: Spoken softly, tenderly]
My brother... my sister... listen to this.
This is the voice of the Lord calling in all tenderness.
His anger is not yet risen. 
Come to His tender loving arms... come to His blessed day.

[Outro]
[Deep, fading bass notes]
Blessed be the day...
(Sabbath...)
(Sabbath...)
[Final deep breath]
