BY HIS STRIPES

God is with me night and day

So I can face life come what may

He is the greatest physician of them all

It is on Him whom I can always call

 

No matter what may happen, I'm in my Father's hands

Surrounded by the Trinity and His lovely angel band

When life throws me curves, I stop and pray to Him

With Him by my side, life is not quite so grim.

 

According to the scriptures, "By His stripes I am healed"

So as for me, I know, there is no better shield

Disease may try to claim me, but in the end I still win

Because I belong to my Heavenly Father

And it is His gates I will enter in.

 

Finally I will be able to fall at my Jesus' feet

Whom I've waited  for so long to hug, kiss, and greet

Praising Him for the price He paid for you and me

So together, we will remain throughout eternity!
