Hidden in the dark unknown
The stealthy virus makes its home
Striking chaos, fear and panic
Global systems become static

Moving freely, undetected
Until some become infected
“What will I do?”, some may ask,
“If I forever wear a mask!!”

At this time we have a window
To share God’s love with all who’ll know
His grace that keeps in perfect peace
Those who feel the precipice

His arms are strong, His grace abounds
With arms of love, He surrounds
Us as we face the unknown
In HIM we’ll never be alone

The setting sun breaking through the evening clouds in bright yellow light, streaks stretching over the expanse of the ocean.
