Three Men
There wasn't any news coverage
Fireworks didn't light up the sky
As three humble men stood side by side
While the rest of us were quietly standing by.
One man began to tell of the faith
The other two possessed
Faith that began as a tiny seed
And faith, as promised, would always be blessed.
It was a faith that saw a place of healing
Rise up from a worthless land
A refuge for the sick and weary
Blessed by God's own loving hand.
After a prayer of dedication was given,
Excitement began to fill the air.
For it was then we all realized
the clinic would be open and we would be there!
The hundreds of volunteers who gave their help
Have a story of their own to share.
Not only had poverty overtaken these people
Also, they had a great need for good health care.
And now thank God, the clinic had opened
The pharmacy shelves were all well stocked.
Needy people filled the waiting room
From near and far, so many had walked.
Medications were given, along with instructions
No one was going to be turned away.
For this was a clinic for all people
Regardless of their ability to pay.
All glory and honor belong to God
What countless blessings we all received
Because God gave a vision to two faithful men
He'd show them how - and they believed.
This poem by Sue was written in tribute to the late Jean L
uc Phanord, Rodney Henrikson, and Gordon Andersen.
