I thought by now they’d fall
But You have never failed me yet
Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle’s won
For You have never failed me yet
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You’ve never failed me yet
Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again
Jesus, You’re still enough
Keep me within Your love
My heart will sing Your praise again
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed me yet
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
Oh-oh
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed me yet
I never will forget
You never failed me yet
And I never will forget
I am a Cancer Patient
by Amy Breitman
I am a cancer patient.
I am also a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend.
I have fears and uncertainty,
and days of boundless joy and deep emotion.
I am a cancer patient.
I have a career and goals and a past filled with memories.
I have days I wonder who will care for my children if I am gone-
And days I am certain I will live forever.
I am a cancer patient.
I am also a survivor, an inspiration, an advocate.
I have hope and courage
As well as nights of restless sleep
and days of fierce doubt and deep rage.
I am a cancer patient.
I am experienced in enduring medical procedures and treatments
and feeling exposed to total strangers in whose hands I lay my future.
I have moments of complete confusion and some of total understanding.
I am a cancer patient.
I am skilled at disguising my physical signs of illness
With wigs and hats and makeup and smiles-
But do not be fooled. . . I am afraid.
I am a cancer patient.
I enjoy peaceful moments amidst the uncertainty that is my life.
I am viewed with pity, with awe, and a certain misunderstanding
By those who have not shared my journey.
I am a cancer patient.
And I am blessed because I live life larger than most
because I am acutely aware of life’s preciousness.
I am a product of a tenuous and difficult challenge.
And I am most thankful for the side effects that have helped me become
A better mother, a wife, a daughter, and a friend.
