There were weeks of total helplessness, many months to be confined,
With catheters and monitors, tubes and wires of every kind;
Yet there was never any doubt that whether I lived or died,
Whether conscious or unconscious, Jesus was by my side.
Though there was terrible pain and suffering, I never knew despair
Because I belong to Jesus and He was always there.
Though one side of my face was paralyzed and i could not swallow or see,
I never lost sight of the fact that JESUS CARES FOR ME.
I also had total vertigo, couldn't sit up without aid,
But with the Holy Spirit present, I could never be afraid.
As far as running and driving, etc., there was no hope they could give,
And at first, they weren't so sure that I would even live.
But friend, 25 years have passed, the Master had other plans for me,
And I eat, and stand, and run, and Drive, victoriously.
Vision perfect, paralysis gone, and what i want to do, I DO.!
So that I can tell you about Jesus and of His love for you.
And I know you're never sure you'll make it through each day,
But you can have Jesus beside you every step of the way.
I have strength and Peace, Joy and love, and Healing through and through;
And just by breathing the name of JESUS, YOU CAN HAVE THEM TOO.
