(Ayy, yoh)
Thirty-eight years waiting by the gate
Hope feeling thin, but mercy is late
Oh, Lord
One day, Jesus went to Jerusalem
Near the Sheep Gate, a pool called Bethesda
A great number of the broken were lying there
The blind, the lame, the paralyzed and the deaf
One man was there, thirty-eight years in the dust
When Jesus looked, He asked him with trust
"Do you want to get well? Do you want to be free?"
Lord, I have no one to help me
To get in the pool when the water is stirred
While I am trying, someone else goes before me
Lord I am tired, yes Lord I am tired
Lord, I have no one to help me
To get in the pool when the water is stirred
While I am trying, someone else goes before me
Lord I am tired, yes Lord I am tired
Then Jesus said to him, "Get up and be strong"
"Pick up your mat, you’ve waited too long"
"Your healing is here, your season is now"
I feel the power, I’m taking my vow
I stand on my feet, I walk in the light
No more the darkness, no more the night
Lord, I have no one to help me
To get in the pool when the water is stirred
While I am trying, someone else goes before me
Lord I am tired, yes Lord I am tired
Lord, I have no one to help me
To get in the pool when the water is stirred
While I am trying, someone else goes before me
Lord I am tired, yes Lord I am tired
Rise up, rise up, the miracle is here
Chukwu is moving, casting out the fear
No more delay, the season is done
Victory is mine, under the sun
Thirty-eight years, but the story has changed
My life is renewed, and I’m re-arranged
Natotela for the grace that you gave
You are the King, the One who can save
Lord, I have no one to help me
To get in the pool when the water is stirred
While I am trying, someone else goes before me
Lord I am tired, yes Lord I am tired
Lord, I have no one to help me
To get in the pool when the water is stirred
While I am trying, someone else goes before me
Lord I am tired, yes Lord I am tired
I am moving now (Ayy)
I am walking tall (Yoh)
Thank you Jesus, my strength
It is well, it is well
(Natotela)
