IF

If no one was sick,
how could Jesus do the miracle of healing.
If no one gave,
how could a harvest come back from giving.

If no one needed help,
how could God make a way out of no way.
If night never came,
how could it be the next day.

If Jesus didn't shed his blood,
how could you and I be saved.
If Lazarus had not died,
how could Jesus raise him from the grave.

If we were never in bondage,
how could we be made free.
If there were never male and female,
how could babies be.

If the heart was never broken,
how could there be a mend.
If we never needed a shoulder to cry on,
how could appreciation be for a friend.

If we never read the Bible,
how could we know his will.
If we never messed up,
how could he love us still.

If there never was a thought,
how could this poem be.
If I never wrote it down,
how would you have known me.

Phyllis, the youngest of six, was born in Oklahoma. After losing her father at age seven and her mother at age ten, she was raised by her oldest sister. Phyllis now resides in Georgia.
