A Lament While in Quarantine<\/strong><\/p>\nWhy God? Why did you let it happen to me?<\/p>\n
Why didn\u2019t you protect me?<\/p>\n
This vile disease has brought down my friend,<\/p>\n
the same enemy will soon lay its grip on me.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m stuck in this room,<\/p>\n
taking temperatures three times a day.<\/p>\n
Imprisoned in my mind and fear,<\/p>\n
As the virus took down one more friend, and then four!<\/p>\n
Save me, O God, have mercy on me,<\/p>\n
rescue me, for I\u2019m trembling with dread of the unknown.<\/p>\n
Look on me with favour,<\/p>\n
remember me according to your steadfast love.<\/p>\n
I keep my eyes on you, Lord,<\/p>\n
I keep on praying while holding on to you.<\/p>\n
May this pandemic be blown away,<\/p>\n
let the disease disappear and be no more!<\/p>\n
You, my God, are my rock,<\/p>\n
Your unfailing love sustains me.<\/p>\n
I praise you Lord, who was and is and is to come,<\/p>\n
in the midst of chaos, you are the only unchanging God.<\/p>\n
