No Man



Carried to the pool-side
I sit here every day
Waiting for a special angel
To come my way

Every time it happens
There's a healing in her hand
I try to get to the water
Someone gets there before I can

Though I struggle every time
I have no man to help me in
So I sit by this pool-side
Waiting here once again

Today was no different
Till I heard the Master say
"Wilt thou be made whole?"
I knew there was a way

"I see you struggle every time
How someone gets there before you do
You need not go to the water
For the water has come to you!"

So if you're sitting by the pool
You have no man to put you in
Remember He will come to you
When you can't get to Him
