The First VS the Seventh Day

The First vs. the Seventh Day
By David Smith June 21, 2007

The seventh day of the week he rested
Six days of work the week invested
The Sabbath, the rest, the seventh day we hear;
It’s the first day of the week we hold so dear;
The LORD’s Day, the first day, the bread and the cup;
The first day of the week when Christians, they sup;
Why the change, as I ponder a tear?
The Word of the LORD, the New Covenant that is clear;
By grace are ye saved through faith alone
The Old Covenant and commandments when sacrifices where the tone;
Now by grace where faith takes a front seat;
Christ came for the sinner, His sacrifice is so sweet;
He arose on the first day, the Day of the Lord;
Thy word is the power, the doctrine, the sword;
The first day of the week the disciples celebrate Christ
In remembrance, the breaking, the bread so nice;
Now the New Covenant, the Lord rose from the Cross;
Old ways of tradition; a New Testament comes across;
Now the new nature, new birth and baptism grand;
Christ is the door. Salvation at hand;
That’s why the change from the seventh to the first;
Under the Law under perfect standards; we’re a curse;
Now on the first day, the empty tomb we can see
A risen Lord, Salvation by grace for You and Me.

  1. that is for sure david smith.
    we were bought with a price , we are washed in the blood of the lord jesus and he has given us the first day of the week instead of the seventh to thank him and partake of the bread and the cup.
    you know, even the calendars have the first day of the week..sunday on them!
    another good poem.
    when are you going to make a book of them david, like grampa yade did with his stories?
