We Delight in Your Shabbat – Aviad Cohen
If you do not delight in your Shabbat, may I suggest you read up on Shabbat. Our friends at Wikipedia offer a simple explanation of Shabbat – “Shabbat "rest" or "cessation" is the seventh day of the Jewish week and a day of rest in Judaism. Shabbat is observed from sundown Friday until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night. The exact time, therefore, differs from week to week and from place to place, depending on the time of sunset at each location. “
If you don’t observe this day of rest try it. It works.
Blessings – Daily Selah

The lyrics:
Avinu Malkeynu our Father our King
Lord we Delight in Your Shabbat!
We enter Your rest and Your praises we sing!
Lord we Delight in Your Shabbat!
Chorus: We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
2) In six days You painted the face of the earth
And carved out a day when You'd rest from Your work
3) You brought forth a nation from Abraham
and spared his son Isaac providing the ram
4) The prophets foretold that Messiah would come
Sh'ma Yisrael the L-rd G-d is one!
5) And just as You rested when Your work was done
we enter Your rest by the Work of Your Son
6) The lillies You dress and the sparrows You feed
You Elohim provide every need!
7) Your people will enter Your rest when we cry,
"Baruch ha ba b'Shem Adonai!"
