Save us, Lord, from Lockdowns and ClownsWhen a song gets in my head, I sometimes find myself pondering alternative lyrics. It often happens that the alternative lyrics have something to do with an issue that is grinding my gears. For those in need: Comfort and heal, merciful Lord, all who are in sorrow, need, sickness, or any other trouble. We pray for those who were denied medical treatment, or who were unable to comfort dying loved ones, or attend funerals. With a bit (okay, a lot) of courage, the prayer leader might say the quiet part out loud.
