Indebted

This woman I admire*,

Rather than just retire,

Her heart on fire

To reach others with

What had set her free

After years of suffering --

God's divine method of healing --

Prayed and toiled, leaned on God,

And wrote down what He revealed.

This lady loved many things,

But she loved Christ best,

More than all the world, she said.

And her lifework to make clear

What Jesus knew about God and man

Has made the Master's words and works

Understandable and potent for me.
