Triumph Of Mercy

Weeks of hideous pain bent me down

Doctor gave me asprin to ease the pain

Soon a blood test revealed the brutal force

I had been inflicted with the worst... Luekaemia

Chemotherapy began the process off

Powerful but destructive drugs infused into my Blood

The only way out, but hideous pain

Cry out to God in the night

He blesses his children with sleep

But little did I know that the real pain was coming

What is known as a bone marrow transplant, was my only chance they said

Chemotherapy was just a 1% chance

But if I could find a donor with identical stem cells

I could have a 25-40% chance of cure, survival

78% of sufferers never find a donor but something interesting was there in my case

God had given me my father's stem cells, perfect for the transplant

God doesn't work by percentages

We trusted God with all our heart

My dad had had skin cancer

Any remaining melanoma would surely have taken my life

The immense suffering of a bone marrow transplant can not be put into words

As I lay in my living nightmare I cried out to God, who is always there

Two days had gone past the limit to produce the Blood for me to survive

Doctors with empty faces entered the room to share the devastating news

I needed a second transplant or I would surely die

We were told the second transplant usually didn't work, but was my only hope

We needed a miracle from God, we felt his power fill

The room. Peace overcame fear, as we gave up control to the almighty

Ashtonishment, joy, and disbelief was

Felt by family, medical staff and doctors, were shocked with the realization

That the original atém cells had begun to work

God performed a miracle and

The blood began it's count

Soon the graft had taken I

Was on the road home

As I was discharged we prayed

That all would work

Weeks of pain followed as my body fought to live

The devastating pain was a real sick atrair

I forces myself on walks and to eat each day, but the immense

Pain was more than I can say, was more than I can say

As I struggled to live on and fight the sickness war

We were told by doctors that the cancer had returned

Two weeks I was given but we had had enough

We were ready to hand all to God

No more treatment I annouced

To the cancer doctor

Standing there I was in God's

Hands then suddenly one day a double seizure struck me

Down

Family gathered round to see my final hours

Countless damage had racked my body leaving me half

Dead

I couldn't walk, I couldn't see, my insides were badly hurt, it seemed it was the end for me

Warrior upon warrior around our distant globe kept the vigil

Fight of prayer of power that can't be stopped and as

The folks cried out to God, He heard them and I live to stand for him

A lot more special days. God has

Given me peace and comfort all along

As I have cried out to HIs grace the joy is overwhelming

He has the power to heal, He has the power to save, as we trust

In his mercy we know that we are safe

I know that I am healed
