The case of George Dedlow |
|
Double amputee, one of 500,000 |
|
Civil War casualties |
|
Suffered a phenomenon so bizarre |
|
Even the doctors looked on from afar |
|
How can you feel a leg that isn't even there? |
|
From cold to burning heat |
|
To pain beyond compare |
|
Clinically known as phantomb limb |
|
So hard to treat, prognosis dim |
|
Brachial plexus avulsion |
|
They told you cycles were dangerous |
|
Nerves ripped from the spinal cord |
|
You certainly need the Lord |
|
But just like the feeling in your arm that is gone |
|
You've severed communication with Him all along |
|
Even though you know it's totally wrong |
|
Spiritual death kicks off its swan song |
|
Don't throw away the years He gives you |
|
By hardening your heart within you |
|
And if you cut off both your own legs |
|
And you have sworn just to ignore Him |
|
The phantom limb will start to haunt you |
|
He wants to bring you back, revive you |
