Four months after Darlene Zschech announced her breast cancer diagnosis, the Christian singer-songwriter is finishing up her last round of chemotherapy.

"Hallelujah is about the only word that fits at the moment. I am so thankful that it is coming to an end," Zschech wrote in her May 23 blog.

Zschech will now face another six weeks of radiation treatment and is asking for continued prayers.

"On the days where I have felt I cannot do it anymore, I literally have felt the strength of people praying for me," she wrote.

"The power of the Holy Spirit to comfort and strengthen has been beyond what I have ever experienced before," she continued. "Again, I am so thankful for every one of you."

Meanwhile, Zschech will be leading worship at her church Sunday for the first time since her diagnosis.

"Even if it's a bit rough and ready, leading people to the courts of our God is my greatest honor," she said. "I simply cannot wait! His presence truly is heaven."

Christian singer-songwriter Darlene Zschech says she has started to lose her hair as she begins chemo treatments for breast cancer but she hasn't lost her desire to worship.

Zschech, who announced on her blog in December that she has breast cancer, recently finished round one of five chemo treatments.

On her most she shared what she is learning through her battle with cancer and where she finds her strength.

"All I can say is, 'grace, grace and more grace'," she wrote. "I am learning to rest in every promise from Jesus. In fact, it's His Word that is giving me the strength to inhale and exhale, moment by moment."

"To be completely honest, this has been very confronting. It definitely makes me look sicker than I feel. In saying that, I am finding great freedom through this. Mark [her husband] keeps reminding me how much money we'll save over the next while on hairdressers!" Zschech said.

The famed worship artist also said writing has been a great comfort to her during this season. She said she plans to share songs birthed from this trial.

"I have songs and thoughts that I will share with when I am on the other side of this mountain," she shared. "In fact, we are already planning a Thanksgiving service at our church in November, where we will record songs birthed during this season."

"We simply want to fill the place with praise for all that God has done," Zschech wrote.
