Jesus My Ever Living Source

The year 2017 will I not forget at that time received really bad news diagnosed with prostate cancer no less shaken in my core really got the blues But God drew near in midst of it showing Christ is indeed my mighty rock He brought calming peace in the situation whispering His love in midst of my shock When you're told you've got cancer it takes some moments to sink in in my case, it was just five percent then the treatment would have to begin But Jesus was with me through it all proving Himself a saviour of all might touching me in and through my treatment so that I would know His awesome light Now in 2018, I am much better majority of cancer is now gone trusting the healer to do it all dispels the darkness before the dawn (Recounting my experience of 2017 having been diagnosed with prostate cancer and praising God for his healing hand in touching my body in his power and now feeling much better with needing no more treatment just yearly checkups. This was written in 2018 and now in 2023 I am still just getting yearly check-ups with cancer still under control. Praise God! )

This is a very poignant poem Gordon of how your strong faith pulled you through,’ But god drew near in midst of it’. The last two lines, in particular, are really wonderful. I am so pleased that you are well now and still writing wonderful poems. Many blessings to you for a happy, healthy week.
