Muscle spasms go away You're not welcome here at all You come to visit way too much Never an invitation were you given It's bad enough when you come by yourself But you always bring a friend Please tell PAIN he's not welcome here with me This house of mine has room for many and I often bid visitors to stay But you and pain cause way too much strife and aggravation in my life
Arthritis came when I was young - unbidden, yet he stayed He caused damage beyond repair with no offers to repay I've tried many times to send him packing But he refuses to leave this home He's tried to bring his friend Pain in as well And all too often he has managed I alone can't make him leave But my other boarders use more force Thank You, Love, Peace and Happiness for looking out for me
Well, muscle spasms and pain, I have a few words for you So please listen carefully You can knock on my door both day and night But it won't open for you If you want in, find another way My friends and I don't want you here You may find a way to sneak inside Then settle in you'll try to do You might stay a day, a week, a month or even more Don't let that thought comfort you My house is not a home for you
It may take my friends and I some time to gather all our strength But once we do - watch out boys Our fists are coming straight for you We'll fight with all our heart and soul You may knock us down, but we'll get up You can't keep us down for long
When my friends and I find ourselves struggling It's then you think you've won You'll settle down and think you're safe But boys, get ready to run I have a secret weapon who is always by my side He is my great defender and He'll knock you back outside My great defender is also my protector and my very dearest friend
So Jesus ChristI have realized that I can't do this without You I'm asking now for You to come to send these univited guests far away from me And when they find there way back to me like they always do Please give me strength to bear their presence Until we bid them adieu once again
