[At the culmination of creation week, the Sabbath which was modeled as a day of cessation from work by the Creator Himself — was chosen as the ‘sign of the Covenant’ between Israel and the Creator/Revelator on Sinai Who declared His Name as YHWH.     After featuring prayers from world religions on the first […]

[Singing through the Sabbath fellowship appears to be popular among our website visitors, so here’s yet another ‘prayerful tribute in music’.    Christian hymnologists were inspired not only to pay tribute to the Christian God but to teach the flock through the lyrics of simple tunes; that is why they wrote 4 or more stanzas, […]

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS   Blessed are YOU,  YHWH,  Creator and Master of the universe, Who set apart the Sabbath, in the beginning of earthly time, Who purposefully designed a work-week of 6 days and added a 7th day on which You Yourself rested from Your creative endeavors,  to model to all humankind that we might cease from […]

Since we don’t have our own music, we borrow from Christianity’s rich and varied hymnody.  The music we love, the lyrics we can no longer agree with so we’ve made up our own lyrics. If you’re not familiar with the music, reciting the lyrics is the next best […]
