One of the greatest things Joe & I leaned on during his cancer battle was worship music. Music spoke to us in ways that scripture couldn’t, in ways that preachers didn’t. Cancer initially reignited our faith out of fear, but as the journey continued that fear was replaced with hope and our faith grew stronger and stronger.

I thought I’d share some of our favorite worship songs that were on repeat during those four years. Joe’s headphones were a staple during chemo treatments and sometimes the patients around him enjoyed his music without asking. His mix was eclectic – hard rock, funk, country, and always worship music.

Joe survived stage 4 colon cancer. He was almost four years cancer-free before his cardiac arrest took him away from me. I am so heartbroken that my beautiful man is gone, but so grateful for the extra years those surgeries and treatments gave me with him. I know he suffered terribly from the side effects of everything he endured. But I also know he fought to the ends of the earth to stay here with me during that time. Because we had a love for the ages.

Enjoy this beautiful music. It was healing, it was awakening, it was pure love pouring from God’s people, raising us up during the hardest of times. It still does.
