The Big C

Cancer took me by surprise
Christ knew all of my days before there was one of them

Cancer deforms my body
Christ formed my inward parts and knitted me together in my mother’s womb

Cancer zaps my strength and makes me weak
Christ is my strength when I am weak

Cancer reminds me that I have no control
Christ reminds me that nothing is out of His control

Cancer threatens to take my life
Christ came to give me abundant and eternal life

Cancer takes me on a rollercoaster
Christ is my rock and foundation

Cancer makes me fearful of the future
Christ is already there

Cancer disrupted my life
Christ was not taken by surprise

Cancer makes me feel helpless
Christ is an ever present help in trouble

Cancer can make me feel like I’m all alone
Christ will never leave me or forsake me

Cancer may destroy my body
Christ restores my soul

Cancer offers hopelessness
Christ offers hope

Cancer says my suffering is for nothing
Christ says that my suffering makes me more like Him

Cancer takes
Christ gives

Cancer wants to have the final word
Christ has already given me the victory

Cancer isn’t the big C
Christ is
