Cancer carves fear on the soul Marking the life in black grief, dread Words like hope, the cancer stole But we’re holding onto Him by a thread Cancer inscribes a panic into life, Distress, so anxious and apprehensive Words like faith, might end each strife Oh, this disease puts me on the defensive Cancer writes worry through each dream Darkening the spirit with heartbreak It feels so terrifying – I could just scream! God surely knows all that is at stake Cancer engraves tears into the believer Silencing the prayers so softly spoken God will soon destroy this dark deceiver And quiet the heart who has been broken! Cancer pens heartbreak in my prayer While I reach for the light in the shadows Knowing, deep down, He is always there While I can’t understand, He always knows Cancer marks the heart with tears Pouring salt into the wounds – such grief But God blesses away all the fears With His gentle spirit, oh such sweet relief
