Witness
by Chuck Girard

Album: The Stand

I witnessed to a man today, I witnessed to his wife
I told them 'bout the way and I told them 'bout the life
I told them how they needed to surrender to the Lord
I told them 'bout the power of His double edged sword

Chorus
Witness, witness, witness
Witness all the time
Such a little witness
See him shine, see him shine, see him shine

I witnessed to a drunkard outside a tenement
I told him he was shameful and he needed to repent
I witnessed to a blind man beggin' money on the street
I put a tract into his cup and did not miss a beat

I passed out little tracts with all the scripture underlined
I handed one to each and everyone that I could find
I'd shove one in their hands and I'd walk on to the next
I must have reached a hundred souls with my salvation text

I gave out little Bibles with the gospel of St. John
Into a hundred hands before my Bibles were all gone
I told each one I met the words of John 3 verse 16
And sandwiched in a little bit of Matthew in between

I finished out the day and yet I was not satisfied
And on my way back home it hit me and I almost cried
I'd given them the message and I'd given them a little shove
But I'd missed the most important thing, I had not given love

Chorus
