Sabbath Day

MP3 - Sabbath Day
PDF - Sabbath Day

I had TWO Primary tunes and gave both to my collaborator, Sue Anderson. I told her to pick one and see what inspiration struck. She came up with lyrics for BOTH in no time flat. This one talks of how a young child can keep the Sabbath Day holy and is patterned from the church's latest push to honor the Sabbath. I hope you like it!

Sabbath Day: Keep it holy, with a heart meek and lowly.
Jesus lives: Think of Him all day long.
Don't forget what He gave you. He was born just to save you.
Follow Him, and to Him you will belong.

Read the words of the Savior. Write a note; do a favor.
Be a friend to a neighbor in need.
Go to church, ev'ry meeting. Share a smile and a greeting.
Walk His way, both in spirit and in deed.

Raise your voice and remember with a song sweet and tender
ev'ry blessing that Sunday imparts.
Say a prayer for another; love your sister and brother.
Worship Him; be like Jesus in your hearts.

The Sabbath Day is my Favorite Day

I was reading talks one morning, and in particular the talk by Sister Neill F. Marriott. While I was reading that talk, this tune popped into my head. I knew that it had to be a Children's song about the Sabbath, so I consulted with my collaborator with the idea and she took it from there. I am grateful to have so many wonderful collaborators to help in getting this music out. If you like it, please leave feedback and if you use it, I'd love to hear about it.

1. The Sabbath Day is my favorite day, and so I want to prepare. 
When I'm on time and I look my best, I show the Lord that I care. 

2. The Sabbath Day is my favorite day, I start by saying a prayer. 
When I am reverent and worshipful, my Heavenly Father is there. 

3. The Sabbath day is my favorite day, my thoughts are only the best. 
No chores, no playing with friends, a sacred day when we rest.
