Cancer Call

Taking life for granted, living day after day
Then the results of the medical tests came
The doctor gently told me I have cancer
I couldn't believe it:  what is the solution?
                                     what is the answer?

Suddenly my view of life changed
Life is precious I found out fast
I found myself praying one day and called a friend
She took me to church where I was born again!

Suddenly my view of all life changed
All life--every soul--is precious I found out fast
I found myself praying:  I found a new Friend
Jesus forgave me and allowed me to be born again!

       In the end finding out I have cancer is not the end of my life
       It was a wake-up call:  a calling from the Lord;
                  in His mercy and love...to make things right

Thank You Jesus
