Worship ministries across South Africa are currently partnering in providing Christians an opportunity to join in 15 days of live, online worship sessions.
“We will fix our eyes on Christ and hear what HE says during this time of crisis,” says a post on the Worship South Africa Facebook page which is hosting live worship sessions with skilled worship leaders from all over SA from 6am to midnight daily. Jump in anytime, is the invitation.
Worship schedules are published on the page daily, indicating who will be leading sessions at different times.

Let’s worship the Sovereign God who works out His purposes through blessings and curses. (Deuteromony 28, Luke 13:1-5, Romans 8:28-30). This “Corona Crisis” song may be sung to any of the well-known tunes listed at the end.
22e CORONA CRISIS
Jesus understands Corona
better than the wisest men.
Where it comes from, where it’s going,
how to kill it in its den.
God’s not taken by surprises, Psalm 139
doesn’t panic like we do.
He’s not stymied by our crisis ~
Plagues, for Him, are nothing new. Ex 11:1; Psalm 106:30; Rev 16:21
God rules all things for His purpose, Daniel 4:34,35; 5:21
He controls what happens here. Isaiah 45:6,7
He sends blessings, He sends curses, Deuteronomy 18:1-14; 15-68
He sends suff’ring, He sends cheer.
Ev’rything that happens to us Jeremiah 17:11 Romans 2:4
must bring sinners to repent,
must conform us to the image Romans 8:28,29
of the Saviour whom He sent.
As we trust and pray for mercy Psalm 51:1 Habakkuk 3:2
on ourselves and on our land,
we will turn from sin that hurts Him,
let Him form us by His hand.
May Integrity, Contentment, Jn 15:26 Jn 15:18-20 Phil 4:11,12
Jesus’ Love, Humility John 13:34 Matthew 11:29
demonstrate our true repentance, Luke 3:8
showing Christ for all to see.
With Corona’s crisis showing
such nutritious, healthy fruit,
‘twill be worth the heavy going, Hebrews 12:2,3
foll’wing Jesus on this route.
We will follow His example, 1 Peter 2:21
salt and light within our land. Matthew 5:13-16
He will use us as a sample Ephesians 2:7
of the purpose He has planned.
