THE SABBATH SHIP

---------by David M. Cameron

The Plan of God is like a ship
---That sails the seven seas.
It makes a weekly cycle
---As it sails upon the breeze:

On Sunday, it's in one Port,
---And, on Monday, in the next.
It sails for six days, then the
---Seventh it comes home to rest.

It boards a few more passengers
---Each time it comes to dock,
Then brings then safely home
---According to the Captian's clock.

You can call, but you can't meet the ship
---Just anytime you please;
Its schedule is appointed by
---Immutable decrees.

The cycle was revealed, and not
---Observed within the heavens.
For, nowhere in the stars will you
---Find days grouped into sevens.

You may dispute and "hermeneut;"
---It doesn't change a thing.
No amount of human reasoning
---Will alter His routine.

"I am Lord of the Sabbath,"
---His disciple did Him quote.
So, if you're not there when Jesus is,
---You may just miss the boat.
