Lord, I See You

CXLVIII

I Cry Unto the LORD, my days are few
Soon I shall pass just like the morning dew
The painful healing that I never knew
I feel the cure it's power seems untrue

Yet for the charge of it, my well has drained
And in the storehouse, there is no more grain
My illness eats my flesh without restrain
And those I love the most could not sustain

In this my state with thee, I do not blame
It is not fate, nor late thy mercies came
My faith in thy behest remains the same
You gave the best, and I am not ashamed

It seems unfair with thy great grace in view
In thy intensive care, LORD, I see you

'Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, as your soul prospers'. 111John, v 2 God has not forgotten His prescription for healing, through the stripes of Jesus. 'By His stripes you were healed'. 1 Peter 2:24 Blessings, Vivien

A painful song of praise, Jun, most of my praise poems too are a result of pain and aches, wishing you good health! Will pray for you:)
