Lockdown Essentials
I believe in God’s power* midst lockdown
Since no disaster can shut His grace down.
In such state, I need foremost the Bible
Scriptures anchor my faith to be stable.
Medicines serve as great necessities
To combat blood pressure’s adversities.
Vitally important are documents
For social and financial engagements.
Hygiene kit plus sanitizer’s fullness
Shouts “Cleanliness is next to godliness.”
Money, though ephemeral, meets my needs
Securing welfare while the mouth it feeds.
Gadgets which become my helpful buddies
Must stay handy as essential goodies.
Grateful am I for each grace-packed food box
Supplies with the Lord’s blessing bounty-stocks.
Above all is earnest soul’s prayer might
Trusting Christ to uphold me in my plight.
Hope in the Saviour brings peace to my heart
Reviving spirit, braced by joy’s rampart.
*1Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
