Lyrics
There's a day that our God said "Remember"
A day He created and blessed.
On this day He still calls us together
This day is for worship and rest.
Chorus:
So let's spend this time with Jesus
On His seventh day of rest.
All of Heaven wait to meet us.
Jesus calls to us "Come and be blessed."
When we rest from our work on this Sabbath
Our needs God provides in His way
He says "Come let's go closer each Sabbath"
If we love Him and we'll honour His day.
At the cross God did not change His Sabbath
This truth in the Bible explained
And the Sabbath stills on God's ten precepts
His law and his love never change
On this day are to God claimes our worship
This day is His signature sealed
When we meet in these hours of sweet friendship,
What joy and what pleasure we feel.
This is Heaven's Day to meet us,
Jesus calls to us "Come and be blessed.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Spend Time with Jesus” centers on the Sabbath as a day set apart for worship, rest, and fellowship with Christ. The repeated invitation to spend the seventh day with Jesus presents Sabbath observance not as an empty duty, but as a response to divine blessing and love. Its images of resting from work, drawing closer to God, and gathering in friendship give the song a devotional focus shaped by trust and obedience.
The lyrics clearly echo the command to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy in Exodus 20:8-11. They also connect rest with confidence in God as provider, while the reference to creation recalls the blessing of the seventh day in Genesis. The closing invitation, “Come and be blessed,” summarizes the song’s hopeful tone: sacred rest becomes an opportunity to worship, receive, and delight in the unchanging character of God.
