Lyrics to "Temple Made of Time"

These are the lyrics to “Temple Made of Time” - one of my favorite songs! It speaks so beautifully about the sacred seventh-day Sabbath. Thank the Lord for this blessing every week! The seventh-day Sabbath truly is a temple made of time.

Verse 1

God took six days, and created earth and moon the stars and sun

On the seventh day, He rested from the work that He had done

Then He blessed it, made it holy as a gift for every man

To remind us where we came from and just how this world began

Chorus

Holy day purified, set apart, sanctified

Enter in to joy divine, in a temple made of time

Verse 2

See Him worship on the Sabbath as His weekly custom was

Feel the fury of the rabbis, for He would not heed their laws

So they killed Him on a hillside as the sun began to fade

But He even kept the Sabbath as they laid Him in the grave

Chorus

Holy day purified, set apart, sanctified

Enter in to joy divine, in a temple made of time

Verse 3

Oft forsaken and forgotten, desecrated and profaned

But the sacred fourth commandment is still valid and unchanged

Hear the Father gently calling “If you love Me, heed each one,

Not for merit or salvation, but because you love My Son.”

Chorus

Holy day purified, set apart, sanctified

Enter in to joy divine, in a temple made of time

You will find joy divine, in this temple made of time

“From the opening scene, with James Dean lurking behind the woman in black, Kazan shows his hand: the film will be about that lonely boy, casting shadows twice the length of his body, stalking his parents, both of whom are absent, albeit in different ways. Kazan expressed concern that those who loved the book might be disappointed in what was lost in translation. But the film was a hit, especially with teenagers who took to James Dean’s performance as though they had been waiting for it all their lives. Dean’s performance, whether he’s dancing through bean sprouts stretching to the horizon (Dean’s idea), flinging his body across the street after a fight with Aron, or collapsing against his father’s chest, still has enormous lyrical power.” James Dean in East of Eden (1955) dir. Elia Kazan

To all those who think that loving to read makes me a socially awkward and inactive bookworm, I’ll let you know that I am as much of an adventurer as a book lover and I’ll be damned if I let people keep thinking that the book lovers are the week ones that can be picked up on, for all the books I have read have taught me to be strong and fight against it. I don’t know where this perception comes from that the readers, the ‘nerds’ are the week guys but every book lover I have met, is a damn strong person on their own.
