Afternoon hideout
Character’s introvert side—
Submerged with good book
Walking new avenues
Positive energy swells—
Restore and renew
Smallest achievements
Self-esteem’s power supply—
Brighter tomorrow

Praising with faith the Sabbath, the Lord’s Day
But, our lives needing to connect in other ways
Worshipping each day, receiving God’s serenity
Setting aside daily moments, faithful identity
Reading Scripture from the Lord’s Holy Word
Praying, praising, giving thanks—voices heard
Coming to the Lord with sincere-filled thoughts
Spending time with Him, connecting life’s dots
Sowing seeds of worship and praise with our God
Transforming by His love, perfect and unflawed
Reaping abounding harvest, singing with gladness
Witnessing God’s sacred harmony, never sadness
Filling our hungry hearts, opening up our minds
Listening to our Lord, He comes and truly finds
