Notes About The Poem
Written on January 11, 2026
Lyrics by Regina McIntosh, music by suno
Cancer
[Verse 1]
It’s a word no one wants to hear
Hearts grow solemn in its presence
Cancer is a disease we often fear
Oh, but, what a God! He can heal
[Chorus]
He can heal this disease, you’ll see
Cancer won’t destroy him and me
We always pray, recognizing
Healed by His stripes, His sacrifice
[Verse 2]
It’s a word and it isn’t cut in stone
When we hear it spoken, we know
It’s impossible to predict what will come
But God knows and He is in control
[Chorus]
He can heal this disease, you’ll see
Cancer won’t destroy him and me
We always pray, recognizing
Healed by His stripes, His sacrifice
[Verse 3]
It’s a word, not a message from above
When we listen to His grace, we’re assured
Whatever may come, we have sweet love
And He’s always here, a gentle word
[Verse 4]
Cancer is nothing but a diagnosis
Doctors can’t be sure of the prognosis
Whatever comes, there is One
Who knows and controls – He is the Son
[Bridge]
He’s shining down a light, a heavy flow
Blood bought promise – He’s the One
Who knows, whatever comes, there is hope
This hope is built by hands we hold…
[Verse 5]
His hands hold ours, when we pray
Comforting and assuring… come what may
He is here to guide us, to heal and say
Love is still stronger than any ill…
[Outro]
Love is still stronger
And love will fulfill
