Motor Neurones Disease
by Albert Watson

I have M.N.D. the prospects are grim
Lord give me the faith to reach out and touch Him.
Your Son Jesus Christ the scriptures reveal
Had compassion on all men their bodies did heal
I'm losing my strength my words I do slur
And sometimes I wonder if anyone's there
Some have suggested with eagles I fly
When at that very moment, I just want to cry
My muscles are twitching my hands all a shake
After ten minutes housework, I need take a break
I'm losing my weight becoming quite thin
How then do I pray Lord, just where to begin
Do I walk through deaths valley then Paradise fly
Or call for the saints to annoint me and cry
Will you again Lord, work wonders and signs
Miraculously heal bodies, change hearts inspire minds
Whatever the future, be there bright days or dim
Lord give me the faith to reach out and touch Him.
