August 1, 2020 I've wanted to know my wife for almost a decade And on the twenty-second of May we got engaged But now I'm afraid cuz I ain't getting paid Cuz Corona only pays if you're a viral rage And now I'm sittin on my bed puttin pen to the page Wonderin when I'll ever feel free from this cage Cuz depression's been stressin and my mind has strayed Into various means of ending all this constant pain Jesus, You there? Lift these clouds full of rain Grant me strength for this day and tomorrow I'll pray For strength all over again-please increase my faith Released "Live by Faith," but I'm living in shame Filled with doubts and despair-need a check for my brain Cuz it's been so dark-no Adam West batarang More Zack Snyder Batman DC dark mistake It's getting harder and harder to focus-Jesus, send grace My LORD, my Refuge and my Fortress My God-in You I place my trust Even when I don't-I know that I must Be my Savior-protect me from the dust Our LORD, our Refuge and our Fortress Our God-in You we place our trust Give us faith, LORD-help us to dwell Safely with You-safe from fear of hell So I flip again in my Bible to Psalm ninety-one The one I shared with my grandma just before her time was done And what I find inside is that God's already won Against viruses and Satan and my fears about income In verses one and two the psalmist explains his hope in life It's in the arms of God-the One who rules on high Which means I must reorient my eyes while in this time Cuz if we want to live by faith-on Christ must fix our eyes In verses three through thirteen the psalmist talks to us Cuz he wants to help us make God our place of trust And in this time of chaos and fear at every turn If we don't seek rest in God, our spirits they will yearn And depression will ensue if we fail to submit to Him Cuz your heart knows what you need-your brain wants you to sin So seek hard after Jesus-trusting Him alone Stop living in fear, staying home-trust the Living Stone Look at verse 10-no plague will haunt your tent This is God's Word to us-social distancing is nonsense We can't trust God and obey while isolating selfishly Look at Proverbs eighteen-one if you disagree with me And if He's strong enough to save your soul from hell His wrath-a virus is as harmless as a seashell "But don't test God like Satan did," you yell And, well, I agree, but living life, obeying God-no Nobel From you, but I don't care--I seek to honor God He makes us victorious when our faith is on the Rock In verses fourteen through sixteen the psalmist speaks for God Making promises to those whose faith is rooted solid This ain't a game of charades-it is life or death Trust Him with every last ounce of your breath God will not let you down-in fact, accomplished mission In verse sixteen it will give you twenty-twenty vision My LORD, my Refuge and my Fortress My God-in You I place my trust Even when I don't-I know that I must Be my Savior-protect me from the dust Our LORD, our Refuge and our Fortress Our God-in You we place our trust Give us faith, LORD-help us to dwell Safely with You-safe from fear of hell September 10, 2020 Still not subbing cuz the school district's afraid Of a virus much less fatal than AIDS But God brought me a job-isn't it great I mean, I try to give thanks but my brain is insane Thinking up more gruesome ways of ending this pain Makes me afraid-need true rest for my brain Need to love my fiancée for many more decades Need to live in Love-helping others find grace despite shame Need to honor the Lord, grateful each day But it's hard when my job is so mundane Pushing buttons, cutting boxes-is my mind even activated See me bawling my eyes out in the arms of my fiancée "My love, I need to support you, but I'm so afraid That if I stay in this place I'll give up the race" (Blow off my face) She pulls me tight--"I need you alive more than I need you paid" So I'm quitting after fourteen days-stepping out in faith (Again) My LORD, my Refuge and my Fortress My God-in You I place my trust Even when I don't-I know that I must Be my Savior-protect me from the dust Our LORD, our Refuge and our Fortress Our God-in You we place our trust Give us faith, LORD-help us to dwell Safely with You-safe from fear of hell My LORD, my Refuge and my Fortress My God-in You I place my trust Even when I don't-I know that I must Be my Savior-protect me from the dust Our LORD, our Refuge and our Fortress Our God-in You we place our trust Give us faith, LORD-help us to dwell Safely with You-safe from fear of hell
