TESTIMONY POEM

Testimony Poem

I once had a hunger that food could not fill --

Thirty years ago, and I remember it still.

Anything I ate made me violently sick;

Anything I ate came out both ends real quick.

My doctor poked and prodded me along,

But finally said, "I can't tell you what's wrong."

I couldn't do nothin' but continue my fast,

and before I knew it near three weeks had passed.

The doctor said, "It can’t be found in any tome!"

I said, "It's emotional," and went on home.

I still couldn't eat, but I went to a church,

and when the time was come, I left my perch.

I went to the front, and invited Him in;

I was persuaded that I needed a Friend.

When Monday came, I asked the preach to pray,

he anointed me with oil and from that day

I've been able to eat – you might now see:

Jesus saved my life back then and set me free!
