THE ILLNESS AND THE CURE

line

"CANCER"

Fear wrote the letters large
And blazed them in the sky.
Fear's arrows questioned hard,
"What if, where, how, and why?"

Fear's unrelenting taunts
Cried, "You can't beat this foe!
"You are no match for this.
"You cannot win, you know."

Then Faith erased the word
That Fear had written bold.
Faith placed into my hand
The precious Truth to hold.

The foe that I so feared
Is challenged by my Lord.
I am equipped to fight
With Truth, the mighty Sword.

I do not fight alone
For Jesus fights for me,
And I can trust in Him
To bring the victory!
