Fountainview Academy's 'Fountainview Temple Made of Time' is a song about the Sabbath as a holy day instituted by God at creation. It describes how God blessed and sanctified the seventh day, and how Jesus Himself observed the Sabbath. The lyrics contrast the rabbis' legalism with Christ's example, and note that even in death Jesus rested on the Sabbath. The song affirms the ongoing validity of the fourth commandment, presenting Sabbath-keeping as an act of love for God rather than a means of salvation. It invites listeners to find joy in this '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
