Witness, by Jack Halloran

Lyrics

Who'll be a witness for my Lord?
Oh, I'll be a witness for my Lord.

There was a man of the Pharisees,
His name was Nicodemus and he didn't believe.
The same came to Christ by night,
Wanted to be taught out of human sight.
Nicodemus was a man who desired to know
How a man can be born when he is old.
Christ told Nicodemus as a friend,
"Man you must be born again.
(He said) Marvel not, man, if you want to be wise,
Repent, believe, and be baptized,"
Then you'll be a witness for my Lord.
You'll be a witness for my Lord.
Soul is a witness for my Lord.

You read about Samson, from his birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth.
Way back yonder in ancient times
He killed ten thousand of the Philistines.
Then old Samson went a-wand'rin' about.
Samson's strength was never found out.
'Til his wife sat upon his knee.
She said, "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please!"
Well, old Samsons's wife she talk so fair
Samson said, "Cut off a my hair! Cut it off!
Shave my head just as clean as your hand,
and my strength will come like a natural man,"
Samson was a witness for my Lord.
Soul is a witness for my Lord.

There's another witness,
There's another witness for my Lord!
My soul is a witness for my Lord!

Devotional Thought

Witnessing simply means telling others what we’ve personally experienced of the Lord Jesus. Numerous verses in the New Testament tell us we should witness for our Lord and Savior so that sinners can be brought to salvation. In the gospels of Matthew and Mark, the Lord’s indisputable command to His believers is recorded. Matthew 28:19 says: “Go therefore and disciple all the nations.” And Mark 16:15 says: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to all the creation.”

Before the resurrected Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave His believers one commandment: to go and preach the gospel. Each one of us has been commissioned by the Lord to proclaim the good news of His salvation. The Lord Jesus commanded us to go forth with His precious gospel to all the creation (everywhere) and to all the nations (everyone).

Will you be a witness today?
