It has been an extremely long and silent time
Since I felt called to pen a message in rhyme
But at an ENCS worship night this past Friday
“I have missed your poems” a friend did say
Pastor Mark Chew spoke about Psalm fifty five
Then that lyrical voice stirred and came alive
Perhaps it had gone into a form of hibernation
Coinciding with the global covid infestation
David’s words in the psalm do strike a chord
He asked that his pleas are heard, not ignored
The enemy causes thoughts that do trouble
Stresses and suffering then seem to double
David said he wanted to fly away and rest
In his place of shelter far from the tempest
In verse seventeen, he cried out in distress
God heard his voice, David did then profess
If unto the Lord, per verse twenty two
We cast our cares, He will sustain you
And as David says in verse twenty three
We should trust in God, for all eternity
Very stressful have been the covid years
A reduction in community plus health fears
Looking back we should remember a truth
God has been with us from our early youth
So as we go forward and start to connect
Let us not God and church ever neglect
Whether at home, at office, or on a trip
Pray, Meditate, Proclaim, and Fellowship
