It is Well with My Soul

It has happened again. Just as we're preparing for her first flight overseas, she has to fall ill. I'm not sure what she's got but I got sick at the same time yet again so it's probably the same virus. Sigh. Anyway, thankfully she's ill before and not during our trip.

As I was putting her to sleep after she had taken her medicine, I sang a song to her which really brought a tear to my eye. The song was written by KC Gan & David Yem for a little girl who was suffering from Neuroblastoma (through much prayers, she is now in remission!)

My little girl is only a little sick and I feel so much heartache for her. I really cannot imagine the heartache that the many parents of children with cancer have to go through everyday during the course of their illness and treatment. Their strength and courage is an inspiration to me.

I hope you'll be blessed by this song too.

For Janelle (Whom Jesus Loves)

You hang the stars

Your love makes them glow

You care for the lilies

The sparrows You hold

I open my eyes

Your mercies unfold

When I close my eyes

There's one thing I know

Jesus loves me calls me His own

Jesus loves me He makes me whole

Jesus loves me heart overflows

It is well

It is well with my soul

You took my pain

And carried Your cross

You kept all my tear drops

And shed them like Yours

You felt all my grief

On Calvary's hill

Your heart was so broken

Now I can be healed

Girlee would sleep after I sing this song to her. And I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but not long after she got better =)

"The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed."
-- Isaiah 53:5*
