24 April 2020 - Anxiety

Anxiety should never be underestimated
It leaves individuals struggling and debilitated
Anxiety comes in many forms and is not gentle
Be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental
Each individual’s battle is naturally unique
But we are not alone, and definitely not weak

As Asaph wrote in Psalm number seventy three
“God is the strength of my heart” we do see
And even if “my flesh and my heart may fail”
God’s strength and plans will always prevail
So on His presence and people, let me rely
Also to help others rid their anxiety goodbye

12 April 2020 - Easter

As the morning sun rises in the eastern sky
Jesus’ resurrection we celebrate and magnify
For our sins, we understand He chose to die
For our eternal life, He returned to sanctify

Without His life, how to live we would not know
Without His death, to heaven we would not go
Without His resurrection, victory goes to the foe
Without His love, to others we could not show

So here’s wishing a large blessed Easter call
For despite the covid-19-linked gloom and pall
Stopping us from eating out or going to the mall
Jesus’ resurrection is truly good news for all

9 April 2020 - Maundy Thursday

On Passover, Jesus and His disciples did meet
To fellowship, to celebrate the day, and to eat
After Judas had left, Jesus did break the bread
“Take and eat, this is my body”, He then said
Then saying His blood, the wine did represent
For the forgiveness of sins, why Jesus was sent

In Singapore, we are now in circuit breaker mode
Everyone is effectively confined to their own abode
Perhaps we should take this time to fervently pray
Per Matthew six, as Jesus taught us the right way
Giving thanks, repenting, and asking for His grace
And may His love be seen by the entire human race
