Shelter in place
JESUS arms embrace
Tower of Refuge
And Strength
Never a waste
Of time or race
Tribe or tongue
See and taste
Social distancing
A cross continuing
To draw us nearer
To its meaning revisiting
Left Heaven’s wing
Separating for death’s sting
So we wouldn’t have to
By HIS blood’s outpouring in love sentencing
Wash your hands again and again
Purify your hearts to understand and mend
Come clean when cease to do evil
Crimson stained to whiter than snow defend
Confess sin to HIM to be forgiven
Guilt and shame humbly rend
Cleansed from all unrighteousness
To begin again renewed in strength before the end
HIS will now to chase
My destiny find in faith
From an about face hope returns
To soar with love on HIS updraft of grace
Time for HIM listening
Ready for HIS instant messaging
To my mind into my heart overflow my soul
Refilling what’s been missing
Spiritual re-connection YOU befriend
Let it go viral to heal our land as the Good Shepherd tend
When humbled by this pandemic will pray, seek YOUR face, and turn from wicked ways
Send forth laborers into the harvest to win hearts fearfully hidden and anxiety ridden until like spring flowers that bloom will newly open
Heaven’s the place to be after we decease
No more sin, fear, sickness, pain, disease
JESUS who is our peace when trust in HIM and believe
Makes a way for us to live there eternally
So come what may
Today or tomorrow no longer delay
Take courage and trust in HIM when afraid
For HE who has promised to never leave or forsake is the Way, the Truth, and the Life portrayed
