I Am A Cripple

I am a Cripple, I have no hope
for the rest of my life i will have to cope.
Everyday I would beg and pray,
that one day it would all go away.
I had prayed and prayed for my whole life,
but this one day i prayed and begged, I pleaded and cried, hoping that my life would become alright.
A dark shadow laid over me,
It told me that God was near.
I got some rest, and when I woke
I praised the Lord that I was healed
