"The Witness"
Year: 1992
I opened my eyes and what did I see?
A lifetime of pain crying out to me.
A pain so deep there seemed no way out
A pain that made lives full of anger and doubt
I opened my eyes and what did I hear?
A desperate voice crying for me to draw near.
To shelter from pain any way that I knew
To protect me friend's heart before it was through
I opened my heart and what did I feel?
A heart's helpless pain, and that made it all real.
I shed a few tears of sadness, but then
I knew what to do to help out my friend.
I opened my mouth and what did I saiy?
"My friend, I know of a much better way."
"I know of Someone who can make your heart sing."
"His name is Jesus and He is my King."
Then, together we knelt and we prayed to the King
And my friend made Him Lord - over everything
You see? Now you know that by doing these things
What the result of being Christ's witness will bring.
Through watching and listening and feeling and love
We're being God's witnesses as He watches above.
