Healing From Cancer
Being the source of our good health
we regard as valuable wealth
Your power can smite illness’ pain…
Lord, let healing from cancer reign.
Accepting grim diagnosis
we strive hard for hope’s prognosis
midst lifestyle-change and best cure's grain…
Lord, let healing from cancer reign.
Along our physical ailment
affecting heart’s predicament
we seek Your touch, granting peace-gain…
Lord, let healing from cancer reign.
Despite our afflicting sickness
causing miserable weakness
wellness-grips in Your strength remain…
Lord, let healing from cancer reign.
While battling for survival quest
our trust’s stage ascends to faith crest
praying midst supplication strain…
Lord, let healing from cancer reign.
Anchored steadfastly by Your light
fighting despair and sorrow’s blight
we tread on victory terrain…
Lord, let healing from cancer reign.
Rejoicing for those cancer free
we thank Your aid with praise degree
upon vessels that do not drain…
Lord, let healing* from cancer reign.
*Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth…
