Witness

I witnessed to a man today

I witnessed to his wife

I told 'em 'bout the way

And I told 'em 'bout the life

I told 'em how they needed to

Surrender to the Lord

I told 'em about the power of his

Double-edged sword

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

Begging money on the street

I put a tract into his cup

And did not miss a beat

Witness, witness, witness, witness all the time

Such a little witness, see him shine, see him shine

See him shine

I passed out little tracts

With all the scriptures underlined

I handed one to each and every

One 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

Witness, witness, witness

Witness all the time

Such a little witness

See him shine, see him shine

See him shine

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 missed the most important thing

I had not given love

Witness, witness, witness, witness all the time

Such a little witness, see him shine

See him shine, see him shine
