Germany, Forgiven, Free of History, Welcoming the Unfree

OCTAVE:
LORD, as morn yields to noon (or dawn) my SONnet will please, tease, release:
I greet thee, having access to Your throne by Jesus
And His sacrifice on Calvary: We pray against the Virus
With a sunshiny name, an aura of a name, "a garland" ...
Corona Virus, COVID-19, or SARS-Cov-2, Thy Hand
Is mighty and righteous, always Righteous, even in judgment
God of Grace and Love, forgiveness and Provisioning
Forgive me my greed, envy, jealousy, smallness and scheming

SESTET:
I intercede for others now, nations and peoples, as did Moses & Joshua
All countries that begin with the letter "G" even if I privilege Great Germany
Bless Greenland, with ice in the veins of history, Leif Erikson (Vikings?)
Ghana, named for an Empire of Gold, but "Ghana" itself means "ruler" I think
All "G" countries, so many I cannot list them all, but we do pray for planet (s)
We forgive tourists & others as we're forgiven! CORONA time when unity begins
