Lyrics
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
Chorus
Holy day purified, set apart, sanctified
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
You will find joy divine, in this temple made of time
