Prayers and Scripture

Trish, my wife, was a witness to alot of people. A woman so full of life that when she walked into a room it would crackle with electricity! That energy did not diminish when the ALS came her way. We prayed so hard for her healing and I believe with all my heart that God is a healing God! They speak of an ultimate healing. 'To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.' She is in His presence! I would like to share a poem I wrote for her during her fight: Rise Up and Deliver Lord The painful night begins anew Rise up and deliver LORD In faith she reaches out to You O rise up and deliver You came to set the captive free Rise up and deliver LORD Restore the health that used to be O rise up and deliver In broken sobs she calls Your Name Rise up and deliver LORD To heal and take away her pain O rise up and deliver Her tears flow the whole night through Rise up and deliver LORD In sorrow she cries out to You O rise up and deliver Healing is from You alone Rise up and deliver LORD A promise from the scourging stone O rise up and deliver Heal her, yet until You do Rise up and deliver LORD Grant Your grace to see her through O rise up and deliver With that grace is sweet release Rise up and deliver LORD Give to her Your holy peace O rise up and deliver © 2005 G.
