Chris Sayburn 'It pours'A Lament for Covid & Omicron Variant  (Draft)Father God,Healer of All Hurts.We come to you in our hour of need saying.How Long? O Lord.How Long?We find ourselves caught up in the storm of Covid.We feel stranded and alone,Fearful that we will be cut off from those we love.A new variant,A new wave,Damned if we lock down,Damned if we don’t. Catch 22 loaded with suffering.How Long? O Lord.How Long?We face shipwreck and catastrophe,Battered and bruised by the storm of this pandemic.Our nation is in peril,Our NHS is stretched,Our Souls feel anxious and afraid.How Long? O Lord.How Long?Healer of all hurts,We come to you in our hour of need pleading.That you would still the wind and waves,And act,And move,And comfort,And heal,And embrace us in your healing hands.Covenant God,Father of Lights,We bring before your tender love.Those who are sick,Lord have mercy, Christ Have mercy.Front Line workers for protection and resilience, Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy.For energy and patience for those in educationLord have mercy, Christ Have mercy.For the vulnerable and those shielding,Lord have mercy, Christ Have mercy.Step in,Hold back the Wave.Step in and bid the storm to cease.Help us to move,And act,In love,And hope.Father God,Healer of All Hurts.We come to you in our hour of need praising you,That you do not leave us,or forsake us.You have shown your love to us in Jesus. Covenant God,Father of Lights,We come to you in our hour of need praising you,That there is not a hurt you will not heal.Nor a tear you will not wipe away.You have shown your love to us in Jesus.We praise you that in Jesus is a balm to soothe our souls.We praise you that in Jesus there is always hope.We praise that in Jesus all will be well.Until that day,We Weep and Pray.How Long? O Lord, How Long?-Swales, Dec 2021
