Remember

In ancient times
God built a monument
At the dawn of creation
He hallowed and blessed
Those moments of rest
day of complete veneration

That pillar He made
Not of stone, but of time
The hours were sacred
The idea divine
And the morning stars sang
For joy they did shine
And shout, that first week of creation

And lest they forget
He made angels' food fall
Down from the sky, on all days but one
And He wrote it down
For the sake of us all
Among the ten rules on the stone

Those rules about murder
And stealing, and lying
Engraving with blazing finger, defying
Whoever in heaven or hell should endeavor
To change the commandments He wrote

Here is the patience of the saints
Here are those who keep
The commandments of God
And the faith of Jesus

Then came God's own Son
To show us the way
He hallowed that same Sabbath day
The pure Lamb of God
As our soil He trod
In God's perfect will He did stay

'Til heaven and earth
Shall indeed pass away
Not one dot or one dash
Will be changed, He did say
The apostles of old
Kept and honored, we're told
That same law that their Master obeyed

For three hundred years
After our Savior died
And arose from the grave and ascended on high
The Christians respected
The law in the stone
The one written with finger divine

But then came the day
Constantine was his name
The emperor who over Rome did reign
Tore down the old landmark
The pillar of God
And erected the day of the sun

As millennia passed
The memory of God's pillar of time
Was slowly erased
By the ceaseless waves of generations
Of human traditions and days
But God calls His people
Out from among them
To point to His word
And light up the darkness
And restore the knowledge
Of God's special covenant
Preserved from the dawning of time

Lest you think that the crowds
Can't be wrong today
Remember the crowd
In a land far away
The mob who blindly
Rejected their King
And the pride of the priests
And their deadly sting
As the jealous, lying accusations they bring
And they murder their humble Messiah

The beast left its mark
On the pages of time
Pushed a heathen day
In place of the divine
Thought to change times and laws
The laws that God's finger
Engraved on the tables of stone

Those who oppose it, it tramples and kills
That city that sits on seven hills
That mark it causes
Small and great to receive
On forehead or hand
On thought or in deed
It cares not whether you're really deceived
Or just afraid, and so follow its lead

Remember (If you love Me, keep my commandments)
