Our Father Cares
I have a sad story that I'd like to tell,
About a family among us not doing so well.
Their precious daughter is indeed mighty sick,
A rare illness, a disease they can't lick.
The father lost the only job that he knew,
Sorrow deepened in his heart, it just grew.
The mother is doing the best that she can,
Her sadness is growing; not according to plan.
The son is so young, not a thing can he do,
Thinking it over, their depending on you.
On Sunday we heard the preacher speak,
A good family huddled together, so meek.
The father spoke out to them all around,
Please help my family, we're loosing ground.
Then a miracle, surprise!, did so abound,
God's answer!, which was oh so profound.
The doctor says, the girls’ crisis has passed,
And the father found a job that he knew would last.
We know their prayers reached God up above,
For He rallied around them, with all His great love.
