We’re all wishing that corona would just go awayÂ
Tired of only seeing friends through ZoomÂ
I can visit only if you stand two feet away
My mask’s the only one I can talk to
Social Distancing woo hoo
We’re going into an economic crisisÂ
Figuring what’s fake and true
Never thought this is where we would beÂ
And I bet you didn’t too Â
Everybody wants corona to go awayÂ
To get back, and be all that we used toÂ
But keep smiling don’t give up my friend and have some faithÂ
And keep hoping our dreams come true ooh ooh
I believe we’ll see the end soon

We’re not going on a summer holiday
We’ve been shielding for a month or two
Covid-19 has kept us inside,
No need for sun screen for me or you,
For a month or two
Even though the sun is shining brightly
We’ve been stuck inside since MarchÂ
Friends are doing all our shopping
It’s making us all feel blue
We’d really like a summer holiday
Doing things we all love to do
But we’re not going on a summer holiday
To keep us safe from the virus
Not just me and you though
Not just me and you
A&T Anderson
We’ve not gone on our, summer holiday
Life’s slowed down for a, month or two
But our time has been, used productively:
Reading, seeking and praying tooJesus – lockdown with You!”Â
“We’ve spent more time with You, in Your presence
Thanks to Rachel, Helen, Gordon, too
We don’t need to leave our, comfy sofa
Don’t need to travel somewhere new
Jesus – lockdown with You!

Poem:
NO SUMMER HOLIDAY
WE’RE NOT GOINGÂ
ON A SUMMER HOLIDAY
FALL HOLIDAY
WINTER HOLIDAY
NO COUGHING, SNEEZINGÂ
OR CONGREGATING YOU SAY
NO HOLIDAYÂ
NO HOLIDAY
JUST A HEADACHE,Â
OR FEVER TO KEEP AT BAY
NO HOLIDAY
NO HOLIDAY
SLIP ON MY MASK
MADE BY LITTLE AUNT MAY
IT’S TIGHT ON MY EARS
MY GLASSES STEAM, HOORAY
IT’S TIME TO SAYÂ
IT WILLÂ ALL BE OKAY
THINGS WILL BE OKAY
THINGS WILL BE OKAY
THE LORD’S IN CONTROL
OF MY DAY TO DAY
OUR DAY TO DAY
DAY TO DAY
SO WHY NOT TAKEÂ
A HOME HOLIDAY
A HOME HOLIDAY
HOME HOLIDAY
