The muscle and the joint pain
Will come back again, I know.
Wracked with pain from chemo
Eight more treatments to go
There are many more side effects
I may have to endure

They tell me I can do it
Right now I'm not so sure.

Each day I'm just existing
The tunnel has no light
Please God give me the courage
To put up a fight.

I feel helpless and hopeless
Not feeling very strong
I think I may need some help
The way I feel is wrong.

It's hard to be a fighter
When your opponent is so strong
But David slayed Goliath
With a sling shot and a stone
No armour did he wear
He turned to God alone.

I need the courage of David
To help me win this fight
I turn to God for hope
To be my guiding light.

Each day I fight a battle
I cannot fight alone
I pray Dear God, you're listening
Or is it my time to come home?

Whatever you have planned for me
I know is meant to be
Please wrap your arms around my family
And help them set me free.
