"Sarah's Faith"
SARAH'S FAITH
LITTLE SARAH LAY SLEEPING
FADING AWAY. . . IN HER HOSPITAL BED
MOM AND DAD STOOD SILENTLY BY
FILLED WITH SORROW, FEAR AND DREAD
THE DOCTORS SAID "THERE IS NO HOPE
THE OUTLOOK ISN'T TOO GOOD" . . .
TRY TO MAKE HER AS HAPPY AS POSSIBLE"
YOU SEE,THEY DID WHAT THEY COULD
SARAH AWOKE THE VERY NEXT MORNING
EXCITED BECAUSE OF A VISITOR IN THE NIGHT
SHE TOLD HOW JESUS CAME TO SEE HER
SURROUNDED, IN A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT
HE TOLD HER THAT HE LOVED HER
AND KNEW THAT SHE WAS ILL
BUT SOON, HE WOULD HEAL HER BODY
FOR TRULY ... IT WAS HIS WILL
SARAH SAID "MOMMY AND DADDY
I'M GOING TO GET BETTER, I KNOW"
HER MOM AND DAD SMILED, A LITTLE WEAKLY
IN THEIR HEART . . . THEY DIDN'T THINK SO
THEY WERE SO AFRAID TO HOPE
AND "DOUBT" GOT IN THE WAY
ANGRY AT GOD ... FOR SARAH'S PLIGHT
THEY FELT IT USELESS, TO PRAY
DOCTORS EXAMINED SARAH EVERYDAY
THEIR DIAGNOSIS . . . STILL THE SAME
HER PARENTS FELT TIME RUNNING OUT
ON GOD, THEY PLACED THE BLAME
SARAH REMEMBERED WHAT JESUS SAID
AND FELT BETTER, WITH EACH NEW DAY
IT WASN'T TOO LONG BEFORE THEY FOUND
THE DISEASE SIMPLY VANISHED AWAY
THIS MIRACLE CAUSED FAITH TO GROW
AS SARAH IMPROVED, DAY BY DAY
SHE NEVER DOUBTED, SHE ALWAYS BELIEVED
IN WHAT "JESUS" CAME TO SAY.
