Isolation Blessing
With blissful optimistic perspective
Isolation can serve as a blessing
While propped toward zealous onward pressing
Trusting God* for His sovereign directive.
Facing quarantine** enforcement measure
Hopeful soul soars freely through faith wings’ might
Serenely smiting isolation fright
Within the Saviour’s fellowship pleasure.
Never separated from loved one’s voice
Gracious heart keeps willingly reaching out
Encouraging with cheers prayers can shout
Assuring care, making others rejoice.
Offering presence despite lockdown pain
Kind gestures extend ready assistance
Through social media defying distance
To help someone cope from pandemic’s strain.
Grateful to linger more in Christ’s glowing
I stay secured, enclosed by His embrace
For spiritual revival and service grace
Vanquishing isolation’s billowing.
*Psalm 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
