MARCH 16, 2020
For many, today’s COVID-19 virus
Brings fear and uncertainty
As no one knows the potential fatality rate
Lord, help me live not by what is seen
But beyond seeing and beyond hearing
Beyond my own senses and emotions
Help me live by what is unseen – FAITH
I am just a pilgrim in a fallen world
A world created by You
But one that knows you not
I am a fellow sufferer, a fellow pilgrim
Blessed to be in your company
With you to guide my way
I am calm and free of care
Lord hear my prayer
Give me relief from today’s distressed world
Help my heart be silent and put my trust in you
Only in you, Lord, can I dwell in safety
Give me your peace for my security is in you alone
Your grace delivers me from doubt and fear
And gives my mind and heart rest
Your victory on the cross has overcome the world
You have overcome mans and Satan’s flattery
You have overcome the world’s hostilities and principals
Never jealous or selfish, but giving it all
Full of purity, grace, mercy and love
You have overcome the ‘prince’ of the world
You are stronger than strong
May I be always close to you and your written word
Give me the spiritual vitality to overcome my world
May I share in your victory via your indwelling Spirit
With your presence, mercy and love
I have no fear of life’s circumstances and
no doubt that we will overcome the world
and find a safe home in your Kingdom
