We find the Christians in their churches
and the sinners in guilty sleep,
both hoping there is no judgment
making vows they cannot keep.
The promises of redemption
cause me to exalt,
as the fleshy burden of living
makes me a sinner by default.
Gospel wails from the radio
road traffic remains light,
the day that all the faithful
gather for the good fight.
But the Sabbath is just another day
to the economy as a whole,
our shopping and amusements
will take a spiritual toll.
The 4th commandment being scrapped
by merchant hedonists,
a seventh day of business
they just could not resist.
Perhaps the judgment will be on Sunday
when their hand is in the till,
Monday the pearly gates are locked
and they get stuck with the bill.
