for these past two years of COVID

many brothers and sisters have tried

to convince their brothers and sisters

that the object of our Christian faith

was to resist tyrannical governments

yet in all my own study of the Bible

not once did I encounter even a hint

of God commanding us to resistance

to love, yes, and in large bold words

to obey Him, yes, equally emphatic

to perhaps even surrender our lives

that His will be accomplished in us

but never once to pick up any sword

but that which is His Word of Truth
