PANDEMIC
By Dave Veerman
Virus infected
from serpent's lies
denial, guilt, shame
the outcast cries
Next generations
sickness inbred
Encompassing all
worldwide spread
Millenia now
such fateful past
hell, separation
so lost and last
Hate, lust, division
violence, greed
self-focused chaos
Adam, Eve's seed
That legacy stain
I know and feel
full consequences
evidence real
Empty desiring
my back was turned
alone and fearful
entreaties spurned
In Eden God walked
seeking his man
knowing sin's plague and
antidote plan
Covenant promise
present I AM
revealed love story
sacrificed lamb
Through prophets, priests, kings
prepared his way
then angels declared
divine birthday
Miracle baby
a manger birth
great First Responder
Love came to earth
Death, resurrection
life and death pure
our Great Physician
provided cure
Grace offered freely
by faith procured
sin disease conquered
heaven assured
Humbly this Christmas
before him bow
receiving the Gift
making your vow
Full restoration
mind, heart, and soul
joy everlasting
healed and whole
Thank you dear Jesus
coming for me
blessed beyond measure
forgiven, free!
