Lord I hate what the enemy has done
He has shut us down
In isolation.
He has stopped our mouths from singing,
Hidden our smiles
Broken our fellowship
Separated us until
We are alone
In a virtual world with no hugs.
Our world has turned grey and drab
We are surrounded by pain and need
And cannot even leave our homes to help.
But even as the dark clouds gather overhead
And mock us with ceaseless rain
I know that there is sun above those clouds.
And though some of us are lost
I see we are found in you.
Our lives are like a heart beat
Ba-boom and we are done.
But your heart beats for eternity
And when ours are done
We find ourselves in you
Forever.
We will sing in our hearts
We will smile in our homes
We can never be alone
For you are with us.
Come like a mighty wind
And blow this pestilence from our land
Many times you have rescued from the enemies hands
You have fortified our coastline
And defended our borders
And rescued our hearts.
Our hope is in your Salvation.
Lord Jesus
Bare your sword and come.
This is a blessing that finds you As you dare to divert from distractions. To turn off TV – even YouTube! To say ‘no’ to News To evade entertainment To step back from Social Media Mute the music and wave away Wassapp.
And in the stillness let Spirit Holy find you Let the sun be as His love Penetrating you. Warming and healing your heart. Let the breeze be His touch upon your skin For He never self-distances from you. Hear His praises sung by birds and lift your heart to Him.
Let rest be your strength. He is with you Your heart cries ‘Emmanuel!’ And so He is God with us. A blessing within.
