Spiritual Cancer
My soul's omniscient Physician finally declared the verdict
revealing His truth-sealed righteousness-stamped diagnosis:
“You're afflicted with loathsome sin-cancer cells
naturally acquired since birth… then invaded your whole being.”
conquered by fatal pride's virus, verily smitten…
yes, spiritually, cancer-stricken was I…
Forsaking hypocrisy-denial’s stink,
I yielded to Him, crying for His healing*
…confessing my need for the Saviour’s cleansing blood
for miraculous cure toward triumphant transformation.
Midst grievous terminal stage of soul-debility
God, life's Source, reached down to me with His wondrous love
restoring, reviving me by His peace-filled pardon.
Receiving His life eternal grant through faith
I'm freed from death-hell's wages of sin-cancer's indictment
re-created to serve, exalting Christ
I’ll bring others with soul-ailment to Him
for their eternal wellness, serenely victorious.
*Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
