It's Worth the Pain

When you have a big decision to make,
Facing a storm in the valley of change,
Remember that Jesus is with you in the rain:
It's worth the pain, it's worth the pain

Sometimes the body gives us a warning of what's coming:
It's like a few drops of rain before it starts pouring--
A little pain starts then surges like lightning in your nerves--
And when you try to move or nurse the pain, it only gets worse

When you have a big decision to make,
Facing a storm in the valley of change,
Remember that Jesus is with you in the rain:
It's worth the pain, it's worth the pain

What do you mean when you say, "It's worth the pain?"
Don't you understand this really really hurts, my friend?
I'm writhing on the floor and I can't stand it any more:
I'm begging you for some relief--I'm shaken to the core

When you have a big decision to make,
Facing a storm in the valley of change,
Remember that Jesus is with you in the rain:
It's worth the pain, it's worth the pain

Sometimes the body of Christ warns of what's coming:
It's like a few drops of rain before it starts pouring--
Revelation of Truth starts then surges like lightning in your nerves--
And when you try to move or run away from God, it only gets worse

When you have a big decision to make,
Facing a storm in the valley of change,
Remember that Jesus is with you in the rain:
It's worth the pain, it's worth the pain

Remember in-the-end my friend the body is only temporarily here:
Repent right now while-you-can for the Day of the Lord is near!
 

It's worth the pain, it's worth the pain
       It's worth the pain,
                       it's worth the pain...
