Obvia

We didn't expect it, it arrived and we didn't see it
It was already spreading when we realized
We ended up locked up not because we decided
Under house arrest, for a crime we didn't commit

False unity, certain anxiety
In a sphere where waiting is distressing
Disconnected inside, connected outside
Wasting time that will never be recovered

A full house that feels empty
Each one missing their world and what they used to do
For social media, another photograph
With a smile of hypocrisy

Why don't we stop, evaluate ourselves and see
Who we are when we don't do what we do
Let's not confine love and understanding
Let's not let the most beautiful thing we have slip away

Our vulnerability is obvious
The global concern is obvious
Our need and dependence on God
Is even more obvious

That's why I raise my prayer
With a very obvious request
That families don't live in claustrophobia
And that the church doesn't fall into agoraphobia

Social distancing or social experiment?
Voluntarily or at the level of martial law?
Final phase or initial phase?
But, without a doubt, it's a crucial time

It won't be the same, something will destabilize
And it won't be the family bond
The main foundation we must reconcile
The hope that the world will socialize again

Many longing for this to end
Others longing for this to continue
Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear
Whoever has understanding to understand, let them understand

If God is with us, who can be against us?
If God is our refuge, who can be against us?
If God is our guide, who can be against us?
Everything will be alright, everything will be fine

Our vulnerability is obvious
The global concern is obvious
Our need and dependence on God
Is even more obvious

That's why I raise my prayer
With a very obvious request
That families don't live in claustrophobia
And that the church doesn't fall into agoraphobia

Unbelief, impiety, iniquity
Are the worst viruses of this humanity
The falsehood for which they wear masks
Not the cheap ones, but the ones that cost more

The double-faced, the double standard
Those that only show the superficial
Behind which the existential void hides
Which is why we can't see the essential

The salt of the earth must manifest
When they allow and when they don't allow to gather
Let the example start from home
Let's preach outside the temple again

Renew our understanding
And be a source for this thirsty land
Let the one who can't see you, hear you
Let the one who can't hug you, feel you

Our vulnerability is obvious
The global concern is obvious
Our need and dependence on God
Is even more obvious

That's why I raise my prayer
With a very obvious request
That families don't live in claustrophobia
And that the church doesn't fall into agoraphobia

In this world, there are men who play at being gods
But we have our trust placed
In the God who became man
In this world, we will have afflictions
But we rest in Him
Because He has overcome the world
