Lenora McClellan has been given the gift of writing from an early age. She describes herself as “an author poet, playwright, and a women of God.” She reads from her book “By God’s Grace” published in 2013. She said about the poetry in “By God’s Grace,” “I hope one day to share this book with others, because it signifies how God has developed and changed me to glorify Him and to inspire other to do the same.” Lenora has written 10 books and four plays.
Below are excerpts from the poem.
Imagine me, money spent, separated all alone, left to deal with this
issue on my own, . . . . . .
This issue that has isolated me,
Thrown down, cast out from society
To live my life in this misery, will
I ever be free, will I ever be free
And the many who had just called on
His name who from that very instant
Were never the same Jesus/ Jesus/Jesus. . . . . .
And He called out to me, for He knew He had healed my infirmity
On his Way to Jarius’ daughter, who was almost dead, He turned,
And stopped, to help me instead
For in the middle of the crowd, Jesus stopped and said,
“Who touched me?” and I,
Being seen by all, I came to Jesus
And I did fall, down at His feet.. . . .
Clearly see I was the woman
With the twelve-year infirmity,
Who in my desperation a touch I
Stole, believing that Jesus could
Make me whole, and Jesus
Then said to me, “Your faith
Has made you whole.
My daughter, go in peace.”
And from that very hour, He caused
The blood to cease, and restored
My mind, my body, and soul
And declared me whole, whole, whole
Thank you, Jesus
Thank you, Jesus
Thank you, Jesus. For making me whole
