I have been going back and forth, fighting myself on whether or not I should put my lyrics on here. On the plus side, maybe my words could touch someone without being in a song. On the negative side, what if someone used my lyrics without my permission. Anyway, in honor of October being breast-cancer month I have decided to put this one on here. I can hear how I want it to sound in my head but, unfortunately, God didn’t bless me with the talent to write music.
I wrote this 2/10/15 when I was in Kroger one day and saw someone in a wheelchair and the words just started coming out. I wrote if for cancer but a friend of mine said he could see this disease as just being sin in general. I had never thought of it like that but I can see it like that also.
I would still like to turn my lyrics into a song but finances are not what they need to be for me to do that. I would love to have Lily Messer sing it. Or the girl who sings Thank You by Jesus Army. Or Lauren Daigle. Or maybe there is a voice out there I haven’t found yet that will reach out to me. All my attempts so far have failed but I am not discouraged. God will take the words where they need to go and the rest will be history. Anyway, if you are a musician and would like to put music to these lyrics, feel free to contact me.
For those that have cancer, or any disease, I pray that you will find strength in the one who made you. I pray you will find comfort in His arms. I pray that you will fight.
This Disease
This disease is tearing me to shreds
Some days I can’t get out of bed
I still have a voice to pray
That You God can heal me today
I’m okay if this is the day I die
In you I know I will always be alive
Behind these tears know I’m at peace
I’ll miss this world but I’m ready to leave
I know I’m coming home
I know they won’t be alone
Your arms will comfort them like they have me
In Heaven, I will be rid of this disease
Thank you for giving me time on this earth
Thank you for dying, to show me what I’m worth
Thank you for giving me your words, your life
Thank you for dying so I can be alive
I’ll be an example, I’ll fight to the end
I pray that I’ve been a good friend
But when I breathe my last breath
As my time in this world is put to death
I know I’ll be coming home
I know they won’t be alone
Your arms will comfort them like they have me
In Heaven, I will be rid of this disease
Let them know I didn’t give up
That they will always have my love
I’ll be watching them as they grow
I pray that You they will get to know
It’s time to leave this disease behind
Your eyes they look so kind
As my soul leaves this body
I’m coming home to You God
I know I’ll be coming home
I know they won’t be alone
Your arms will comfort them like they have me
In Heaven, I will be rid of this disease
This disease didn’t win
Your love was always within
Let me know what you think. Any musicians that would like to put it to music let me know.
