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.
