LITTLE SARAH LAY SLEEPING
IN HER HOSPITAL BED
MOM AND DAD STOOD SILENTLY BY
FILLED WITH 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 ABOUT HER VISITOR OF THE NIGHT
SHE TOLD HOW JESUS CAME TO 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 TRUELY...IT IS HIS WILL

SARAH SAID " MOMMY AND DADDY
I'M GOING TO GET BETTER, I KNOW"
MOMMY AND DADDY 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

EVERYONE WAS ELATED...FOR THE HEALING
GIVING THANKS TO GOD EVERYDAY
ESPECIALLY SARAH...WHO BELIEVED
AND TRUSTED WHAT JESUS CAME TO SAY.
