For my sister Connie, who sang His song, Amazing Grace, in a special setting, a special place, He wants to tell her, how her faith, can and does, fear and doubt replace, that, obedience to Him, and trusting Him, helps others win the race. I couldn't read the graphic, and whatever it says is not relevent less, it is, that is. The pic, shows the story, very well.


Poem Artwork

When others, moan, and dread, and fear, we're challenged to join in;

While laying groggy on a gurney, at the mercy of the Doctors; a system we don' trust,
a, world lost, in it's, sin.

But ,then He holds our weary heart, and holds, our shaking hands,
and gives us, voice to sing ,of Him, and rest in His, commands.

He never strays from our side, and always, holds us dear,

when all seems out of control, He remains, especially, near,
and puts a song in our heart, and the wherewithal, to sing, it;

dispelling, doubt and fear.
Whatever, they feel is not the point, but let me tell you, now,
The effect is so healing, so hard to comprehend,

It calls them to His door, and helps them enter-in,

and find His rest, somehow!

And that's just for those who already know, He lived and died for them,

but, His, trust, they do not know, and, then, when in some tragedy;

to the world, they often go.
To others, who, know Him, not, well your song makes them, cry,

for He is using their distress, to make the words a, soothing, lullaby.

He's showing them, thru your faith, and, the surety, you project,

that they are relying on the wrong source, their lives to save, and protect.
So what seems a little thing, to you, can change a lot of lives,

can open many doors.
Does make a, huge, difference, for, He uses your FAITH,
as He heals, many of their OWies,

as well, as, protecting, you, and, ever,  healing, yours.

Healing is a gift offered by the Lord. By his stripes we are healed....
He earned over sickness, diseases the right by faith to accept total healing. He also says he never leaves no forsakes us.... Connie is in my prayers and in worthy hands of the great healer himself.... Thank you for this tribute poem for her ROCK............

Light & PEace,
Joselyn

and my prayers....
