It’s a submicroscopic agent
And living organisms infects;
Will often cause disease
Although difficult to detect.
A virus is contagious
And is filtrable indeed,
And once it enters it multiplies
Where diseases it may breed.
But there are certain viruses
That are more dangerous,
And when they’re harboured or ingested
Much damage they will cause.
The most prominent is bitterness
Where the seed of hatred lies,
As it infects the body and the soul
When forgiveness won’t reside.
This virus causes anxiety
As it puts a stress and strain,
On every aspect of the heart and soul
So no peace or joy remains.
Another virus is envy
With its cousin – covetousness,
When like a worm they eat away
So there’s no time for rest.
The viruses of lies and greed
Can destroy relationships,
When violence and manipulation
Will flow from unwholesome lips.
Viruses cause damage;
They come to kill, steal and destroy,
To penetrate and multiply
When hosts of wickedness they employ.
But there is a solution
When God will intervene,
To cleanse and heal and to restore
To make things pure and clean.
He sanitises with His touch
To wipe all sin away,
As we repent and ask for mercy
So no virus will remain.
A virus simply cannot stand
In the presence of the Lord,
And when we forgive we are forgiven
And infected are no more.
