Valley song - Jars of Clay

You have led me to the sadness
I have carried this pain
On a back bruised, nearly broken
I'm crying out to you

Chorus
I will sing of Your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy

When death like a Gypsy
Comes to steal what I love
I will still look to the heavens
I will still seek your face

But I fear you aren't listening
Because there are no words
Just the stillness and the hunger
For a faith that assures

Chorus x2

Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

While we wait for rescue
With our eyes tightly shut
Face to the ground using our hands
To cover the fatal cut

And though the pain is an ocean
Tossing us around, around, around
You have calmed greater waters
Higher mountains have come down

Chorus

Yeah

Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia alleluia, alleluia

Chorus (4 Xs)

Oh, Lord sing of Your mercy,
Mercy
Your mercy

As youtube doesn't want to post my post, i shall post my post. please click here for a piano piece which i like :)
today during pediatric class, Dr Tay talked a bit about doctors and children with cancer and the social ecological framework. think one of the many things she raised was quite interesting..
e.g. who determines how much the family of the child with cancer should know? how much do you tell the child who'll be going through the pain of chemotherapy?
if a child has a relapse within 5 years (say, at the age of 15), and the child, having gone through the treatment once before, says 'i don't want to go through chemotherapy. i don't want the treatment'... to what extent can we give the child the autonomy to make such a decision? considering the issues which they're going through as an adolescent at that moment.. if a child of 5 years old says 'i don't want to go through treatment', he/she will be ignored.. but an adolescent of 15? or 16? or 17?
i think it's quite funny how she mentioned that pediatricians and doctors don't like to deal with this kind of questions. that's when the pediatric psychologist comes in. lol.
