Live in the Sabbath
Commune with God and others
Rest, regain, renew.

Whom do you turn to?
Jesus turns to the Father
All works out for good.

Unless you have faith that's full
You will not be full

Cease doing evil
Do right then follows the rite
So learn to do good

Go as Disciples
Take nothing but stick, sandals,
Teach, expel evil

Do not be afraid
No sparrow is neglected
You're more than sparrow

Be sheep amid wolves
But worst are our inner wolves
Be simple as doves.

Indeed a blessing from God
Pointing towards God

Jesus called The Twelve
The Twelve Tribes of Israel
Renewed, Renewing
