That He bound up in the rest

He promised us,Isaiah 58:6-14

Will rest on us,

Because our hearts

Are tightly bound,

To He whose hands

Were nailed down,

To the cross,

Which those He loved

And labored for,

Lifted up on Calvary.Luke 23:33-34

Only then,

Did the hands of Jesus

Stop to rest.

For now He knew,

That He had finally

Set us free at last,

To focus on the needs

Of others first,

Just like Him,

So we could help them

Learn to labor first,

Just like Him,

Before they stop to rest.Matthew 28:18-20

"Let us therefore

Fear,

Lest,

A promise

Being left us

Of entering

Into his rest,

Any of you

Should seem to come

Short of it...

For he that is entered

Into his rest,

He also hath ceased

From his own works,

As God did from his."Hebrews 4:1, 10

"And when Jesus

Had cried

With a loud voice,

He said,

'Father,

Into thy hands

I commend my spirit:'

And having said thus,

He gave up the ghost."Luke 23:46

And then our Lord and Maker

Bowed His head

And stopped to rest,

On the very same day
