SPIRITUAL CONNECTIVITY 

with SOCIAL DISTANCING

My family and I went to church together on Sunday.

We were all behind locked doors, for fear of the virus,

 but Christ connected us.

Miles and walls and the governor’s orders divided us, 

but Christ connected us.

We wore pajamas and slippers while Christ dressed us

 in His own righteousness.

We hadn’t planned it that way, 

but Christ connected us.

Because we were gathered together, in His name,

 Christ connected us.

He was there, in the midst of us.

Worshiping with the family of faith through electronics,

 Christ connected us.

My family and I will worship together again,

 Christ still connects us.

Our parents, siblings, spouses, and children, 

our grandparents, our in-laws, 

many cousins and friends are in glory,

 Christ still connects us.

We can sing together again, with all the saints, 

Christ will connect us.
