Cancer's Hell




When I don’t know how to pray
And everything I could think of to say
Has been whispered, a supplication
Entreating Jesus, my life’s foundation…

I feel a tear slide down my cheek
And God knows the healing I seek
Will He answer with a cure?
I believe His grace will endure

When I don’t understand this disease
Cancer tells my spirit to fall to my knees
No one I know can explain this war
There isn’t a doubt it’s a grief I abhor

I feel the pain grow in my soul
Yes, it’s true that cancer stole
Pieces of my peace, my hope and belief
Will our lives ever know sweet relief?

When I don’t know what is happening
And the dread in my spirit – battling
This darkness, these shadows, this fear
All my life has changed – but God is still near

I feel the lost that colors me gray
I bow to Him who is love and I pray
For God to heal this disease, this war
These are feelings we can’t ignore

When I don’t know how to seek His grace
I listen to the Psalms, feel His warm embrace
Rising from the fear that leaves me yearning
I rest in the promises of a love that’s burning

I feel like he’s gone through the worst of the worst
And I know that he must be feeling like he’s been cursed
But there is Jesus and He shows us that there’s hope
If we’ll only listen in faith, He’ll help us to cope

When I don’t see my blessings for the shadows of doubt
I know that my Father is still seeking me out
And though I may not understand the why or how
I believe God is able and He’s with us right now

I feel alone sometimes, like I haven’t a chance
But I look at the darkness of this circumstance
And I know that Jesus can kill cancer completely
I know He can heal and I feel His love so deeply

When I don’t know the way and I just can’t say
What it feels like to face this – oh, I just pray
Whatever happens, in the day or night
There is a Father who makes all things right

I love my husband and I pray that I can be his helper
In this dark time, I hope he feels I’m a shelter
And I seek the Savior with prayers and praise
Knowing that He is worthy – His love can still amaze

So if you can take a moment to say a quick prayer
Please pray for God’s healing – I know you’re aware
Cancer is a killer and we’re praying it won’t prevail
Pray for God’s grace to destroy cancer’s hell
