Healing Of Our Child

by Carol Chkoreff

 

Healing of our child was the most urgent need ever,

watching the sickness grow more severe to sever.

Life that had flowed so healthily now became weak,

the future turned dark and gray with storms so bleak.

 

Standing strongly was the power of God's Word to heal,

believing and trusting the Lord made our hearts kneel.

Nights and days of agony would call us to intense prayer,

cries of desperation for healing became our heart's care.

 

Bending double with thoughts of the possibilities could,

torment our minds and make us pray that Jesus would.

Brokenness and spending time in God's Word became,

the pathway for us to find healing for all of sicknesses blame.

 

Waiting for God's mercy and calling out in the midnight hour,

knowing that Jesus had paid the price for healing in His power.

Hurting and feeling such great pain that all would go well,

gave us such a great compassion that we would always tell.

 

"You are the Lord that heals me" became the song of our heart,

watching and praying for any signs of healing became our part.

Hearing the doctor's words of possible gloom and despair brought,

with it a terrible weight of heaviness that our spirits strongly fought.

 

Walking up that hill to the surgeon's knife and the hospital's care,

taking God's Word that He would perform those things left us bare.

Bare to the total dependency on God and God alone for His intervention,

knowing with full assurance that He would use all of His prevention.

 

Healing came on the wings of His love and mercy and our child is well,

completely healed with the greatest care and trust that only God could tell.

When you know the Lord has intervened and given to you a great gift,

there is such an awareness of how much God is on our side to lift.
