Cheered Up
God be thanked for grace of laughter He's never shutting down
Mirth blessings for ha-ha-ha bursts that keep on pouring down
With enthusiasm-warmth midst community lockdown
Along His provisions always flowing down.
The Lord be praised for upholding us; from stress, to slow down
Cheering* against global crisis putting many down
Reviving our souls to fight tendency of breaking down
Propping strength in fighting despair-caused knock down.
Christ be glorified for enabling us to move on as to Him we bow down
Directing us to approach Him with faith, humbling down
Since He is graciously reaching us down
While we worship in spirit and in truth, reverentially kneeling down.
We trust the Saviour Who smites pandemic gloom that’s pressing fervour down
Bringing us nigh Him, despite social distancing, greatly pulling each one down
He’s our wellness power, making us healthy, with great physical tone-down
Sparing us from high blood pressure as His serenity calms us down.
Propelled with the spirit of never quitting down
Exhorted to rejoice, as our cares to the Sovereign we cast down
We cleave to the Holy Ghost Who can conquer anxieties tearing down
Sufficed by His mercy and grace, indeed heavenly sent-down.
We laugh out loud with divine joy, bouncing up from falling down
To bask in blissful peace while hearing Bible preaching when sitting down
Ready to serve along diligent commitment to push laziness down
Exuberant for ministry pursuits, prayerfully… not feeling down.
Matthew 14:27 … Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Acts 23:11 …The Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer…
