We've been exposed,
Corona is exposing us,
Exposing our weak sides,
Exposing our dark sides,
Exposing what normally lays far beneath the surface of our souls,
hidden by the invisible masks we wear.
Now exposed by the paper masks we can’t hide far enough behind.

We've been exposed.
Corona is exposing our addiction to comfort.
Our obsession with control.
Our compulsion to hoard.
Our protection of self.

We've been exposed.
Corona is peeling back our layers.
Tearing down our walls.
Revealing our illusions.
Leveling our best-laid plans.

We've been exposed.
Corona is exposing the gods we worship:
Our health
Our hurry
Our sense of security.
Our favorite lies
Our secret lusts
Our misplaced trust.

We've been exposed.
Corona is calling everything into question:
What is the church without a building?
What is my worth without an income?
How do we plan without certainty?
How do we love despite risk?

We've been exposed.
Corona is exposing me.
My mindless numbing
My endless scrolling
My careless words
My fragile nerves.

We’ve all been exposed.
Our junk laid bare.
Our fears made known.
The band-aid torn.
The masquerade done.

We've all been exposed.
Not necessarily to the virus
(maybe...who even knows��‍♀️).
We’ve all been exposed BY the virus.
What Corona reveals, Only God can heal.

So what now? What’s left?
Clean hands
Clear eyes
Tender hearts.

Come Lord Jesus.
Have mercy on us.
