IF ONLY…

If I had a cure for cancer

You’d be knocking on my door,

Perhaps plead for the solution

And no doubt be back for more.

If I had the winning numbers

Of the lottery in mind,

You’d beg for the combination

To leave your poverty behind.

If I had the key to happiness

You’d be standing next in line,

Eager for the perpetual answer

To leave your miseries behind.

If I cracked the code to eternal life

Where no death you’ll ever see,

Most likely I’d become very rich

As there’d be no limit to my fee.

I have some very good news indeed

As there’s an answer to all the above…

Perhaps not in the way you would expect

But nevertheless with love.

There is a cure for cancer

It’s a spiritual one indeed;

It’s when our sickly soul is healed

From its autoimmunity.

The winning numbers do exist

But not found in the lottery;

It’s when Christ stamps His name and number

On our forehead in eternity.

There is the key to happiness

Its true riches are in Christ;

When we open our heart to God

And love Him with all our might.

And the code to eternal life

Was cracked as Jesus was crucified;

So we can avoid the second death

As Christ becomes Lord of our lives.

‘While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18
