Just Believe!
Just Believe! My wife Janet is coming up on her 9th year anniversary of being diagnosed with cancer and breast removal. The good news is that she is also celebrating her 7th year of being cancer free.
Janet believes from her experience with cancer, that she would not have gotten through it without her faith in God being there to help her. She wants to share her experience with everyone else going through the horrors of this terrible disease, so they know that God is there and will not leave.
We are sharing her thoughts and experience of cancer through our music with as many people as possible to let all know that Jesus will be there protecting you.
If you know someone this may help, please share.
Just Believe!
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cold chair Warm hands Paper gown and the smell of sand
On the floor from someone’s shoes Trying not to look at the news
Doctor’s lips Slow frame He said the word My world changed
Everything went soft and loud I tried to breathe Tried to say it out
Nurse bent low Touched my sleeve Said “If you need to Just scream”
But in the humming and the bright white light I heard a whisper in the back of my mind
[Chorus] “Just believe
When your body feels like it’s breaking When you’re holding on and shaking
I am here I will not leave
Just believe
When the mirror shows you someone You don’t even think you know now
I am here I will not leave
Just believe Just believe”
[Verse 2] Hair on the pillow One more comb Eyelashes falling on my phone
Laughing so I wouldn’t cry Taking pictures as it said goodbye
Infusion wing Same chair Blankets Beeping Plastic air
Volunteers with paper cups Passing courage as they filled us up
Strangers praying Hands in mine Telling stories just to pass the time
And through the drip and the quiet sighs Love kept pouring from their tired eyes
[Chorus] “Just believe
When your body feels like it’s breaking When you’re holding on and shaking
I am here I will not leave
Just believe
When the mirror shows you someone You don’t even think you know now
I am here I will not leave
Just believe Just believe”
[Bridge] On the nights I thought I’d vanish (oh) When the fear was all I tasted
You were speaking through their kindness Every smile a sacred promise
If the shadows ever find me If the tests come back and haunt me
I know that I won’t face it lonely You’ll be there again to hold me
[Chorus] I’ll believe
When my body feels like it’s breaking When I’m holding on and shaking
You are here You never leave
I’ll believe When the mirror shows me someone Braver than I ever dreamed of
You are here I’m still Your child
I’ll believe I’ll believe
[Outro] Cold chair Warm hands If I ever have to sit again
I’ll hear that whisper in the deepest part of me
“I am here I am here
Just believe”
