Mister Pain – leave me alone!
Did you get a visit from Mister Pain today? Or this week? Or anytime lately? If so, did you yell back at him when he yelled at you? Or did you find yourself giving in and even giving up?
Everybody has to deal with him at least once in a while. But how you deal with him determines a lot about how you’ll end up dealing with your life. If you try to put a mask on him, he’ll wear it proudly and never leave. But when you discover you can tune him out, you’ll discover the strength you need to get through this life. So, how do you learn to tune him out? Well, I can tell you, from personal experience, you can’t do it alone. And there’s only one person in all the universe who can truly help. I’ll share who that is with you after these lyrics…
Mister Pain
He’ll come and jump into your arms.
He’ll stay and try to steal your heart.
And he’ll push and make you say his name.
He’ll shove ’cause he makes force an art.
He’s tough. he turns you inside out.
He’s mean; he means to have it all.
And he’ll push and make you scream his name.
He’ll shove, but don’t you ever fall…
For Mister Pain…he can be seen through.
Mister Pain…you can be mean to
Mister Pain…leave me alone.
Oh, oh, oh Mister Pain…he can be lied to.
Mister Pain…least that’s what I’d do.
Mister Pain…leave me alone.
He’ll smile and stab you in the back.
He’ll pound when he’s inside your head.
And he’ll grab and pull you to your knees.
He’ll yell, but you yell back instead…at…
Repeat chorus
You’ve got a reason to live,
A reason to be in this place.
Take all the pain he can give,
And throw it right back in his face
Instrumental…repeat chorus to end

Your reason to live is this:
Life was given to you by Jesus, your Creator. He’s the only one in the universe who can help you cope. Will you give Him a chance to help you today?
