Don't ask HIM why.
As I move my hand to wipe away tears,
I wish I could wipe away all my troubles and fears.
I have a disease, some call it cancer,
I call it hell, without any answer.
It has messed up my life, my body and face,
and caused a lot of hurt no one can erase.
The pain in my head gets worse everyday,
But I ask my Father to take it away.
Take away the pain, the anger and doubt,
Replace it with your mercy, as I go another bout.
Don't ask HIM why, Just receive HIS grace,
He won't reveal His plan , but He will unveil HIS face.
Through HE sends to help you, through family and friends,
There you will know that HIS love never ends.
As you talk to HIM in your worried prayers,
HE will overflow you with HIS utmost care.
Don't pray a selfish prayer and expect all to be fine,
Just ask for HIS will, and have peace of mind.
Don't expect a miracle or your personal plan,
Just know that HE is there, gently holding your hand.
He'll be there beside you every step of the way
Wiping your tears as you earnestly pray.
Don't ask HIM why just receive HIS grace,
He won't reveal HIS plan, but HE will unveil HIS face.
We can pray for a cure that cancer be defeated,
That until that time it will not be repeated.
We can pray for the surgeons, doctors and nurses,
And the treatment that follows will attain its purpose.
Our family and friends need our prayers of hope,
Of strength and comfort, as they try to cope.
It may not be HIS plan for this to strike you
But the body of Christ can shine on through.
The toll of your body may be hard and weakened
But your spirit, if allowed, will rightly be strengthened.
Don't ask HIM why, just receive his grace
HE won't reveal his plan, but he will unveil HIS face.
Cancer is not contagious, but your spirit will be,
To smile and to laugh is excellent therapy.
To have faith and hope that cannot be ignored,
To let other people know that it came from Our LORD.
In the midst of your struggle, continue to help others
Treating each person like a sister or brother.
Our Father will give you that strength in a crisis,
As you ask and receive, you grow in his likeness.
So pray for his strength, His courage and mercy
And continue your battle for the world to see.
Don't ask HIM why, Just receive HIS grace
He won't reveal HIS plan, but HE will unveil HIS face.
