God Rested - Andrew Peterson

So they took His body down

The man who said He was the resurrection and the life

Was lifeless on the ground now

The sky was red His blood along the blade of night

And as the Sabbath fell they shrouded Him in linen

They dressed Him like a wound

The rich man and the women

They laid Him in the tomb

Six days shall You labor, the seventh is the Lord’s

In six, He made the earth and all the heavens

But He rested on the the seventh

God rested

He said that it was finished

And the seventh day, He blessed it

God rested

So they laid their hopes away

They buried all their dreams

About the Kingdom He proclaimed

And they sealed them in the grave

As a holy silence fell on all Jerusalem

And the Pharisees were restless

Pilate had no peace

Peter’s heart was reckless

Mary couldn’t sleep

But God rested

Six days shall you labor, the seventh is the Lord’s

In six, He made the earth and all the heavens

But He rested on the the seventh

God rested

He worked till it was finished and the seventh day He blessed it

He said that it was good

And the seventh day, He blessed it

God rested

The sun went down, the Sabbath faded

The holy day was done and all Creation waited
