I say.
Roll on lockdown liberation
And the nation's vaccination
Actual corporeal congregation
Even taking vacation!
And in our desperation
"End this, God!" we pray;
"Get us back to normal"
Our petitionary oblation.
Oh!
How we need your grace for our prayers
As well as our hearts and hospitals and homes.
May they hold more truth and wisdom and life
Than simple grass is greener tropes.
Yes, Lord! We long for relief
For the ebbing of this tide of grief
And it's in fervent, hopeful belief,
That we seek the green blade rising.
Yet as we do, let us hear your asserting:
Your re-greening will be more than re-vert-ing,
For true nourishing hope draws up the hurting
In its holy metabolising.
