No More Bad News

Well, well, well now, I just heard the news There’s another illness lurking Now I’m really confused The doctor said that you have pneumonia Now what are we supposed to do? Lord, please help us; you’ve got to relieve the pain She’s always been such a good girl It’s there something you can do to pull us through this rein? Of terror that’s quickly taken over If I could do it myself, I would Maybe all I need is to find a four leaf clover And make a wish that this was only a dream That you’re really not as bad off As the doctors want it to seem You’ll be home soon all you need is a little rest I think God is trying to put you through another test To see if you’re strong enough to handle the task But why couldn’t he see how tired you were So that we would have to ask Him he reasons for torturing you I thought you already proved yourself And you were on your way to a speedy recovery? But now all hope is lost and your illness is no longer a mystery
