the only hope for her daughter

she was not Jewish
but she was persistent
crying out to Christ
to come, to save her daughter
she had nowhere else to turn
this daughter of Abram
not descended from Jacob
but sure of one thing
the only hope for her daughter
was (and is) Jesus
the only one who can save
who can heal our brokenness.
