The Cure

I didn't care about life anymore,

couldn't get up to walk the floor.

Not wanting other people to know,

knowing sooner or later, it will show.

Had these diseases running through my veins,

causing me sickness, grief and pain.

They put me on all kinds of meds,

things that mess with people's heads.

The light in my eyes, you could not find,

changes happening to body and mind.

Treatment after treatment did not work,

all the therapy's, I wanted to shirk.

Every day not knowing how I feel,

not being able to keep down a meal.

Laying my head on my pillow at night,

not knowing if I will see daylight.

I didn't have much faith in God,

I thought all religions were a fraud.

Then someone sent me a blessing,

this is where I will start confessing.

My niece gave me a gift,

words of encouragement to uplift.

I read it from front to back,

finding the knowledge that I lack.

I figured that religion was a stretch.

Why would God care about this wretch?

Having nothing else to lose,

I read more of the Good News.

Then I began to actually hear,

Jesus was the way to the cure.

It takes more than just knowing,

faith is what He was showing!

Showing the faith it takes to heal,

my friends, things just got real!

Turned from the man-made pills,

tore up and burnt the will's.

In God I started to trust,

figured, this was a must.

This is where my faith will start,

receiving God's love in my heart.

These disease's I could not bear,

so now, I reverted to prayer.

The cure begins by reading the Word,

this was the cure, now you've heard.

As the time went along,

God healed what was wrong.

Using the herbs that He grows,

making amends to my foes.

Positive thinking is what it takes,

not worrying about my mistakes.

This is the cure I am talking about,

with God, there is no doubt!

Now that you know what the cure is,

maybe you'll give it a go, and become His!
