Lyrics
WITNESS FOR JESUS
(Words and music by Tennyson Walters)
Witness, I’m a witness for Jesus (repeat)
I was tried and convicted for sins that I had committed
Sentenced to die if not acquitted, or if the verdict was not lifted
But then Jesus oh my Counselor, yes Jesus my Intercessor
He showed me grace, He showed me mercy
He took my place when I was so unworthy
Now I’m a witness, I’m a witness for Jesus
Witness, I’m a witness for Jesus, witness, I am a witness for Jesus
Witness, I am a witness for Jesus
Now let me take the stand, let me raise my hand
Let me testify, lift my voice on high
I’m a witness, witness for Jesus, witness, witness for Jesus
There was no hope for me, death it was a certainty
Yes there was no reprieve, it was already decreed
But then I got the news, says if you stand accused
But admit the Truth, your sentence He’d commute
He would make a writ of Prohibition
And see to it there is no conviction
Settle it with one condition
Your repentance for redemption
I’m a witness, witness for Jesus
Witness, I’m a witness for Jesus, witness, I am a witness for Jesus
Witness, I am a witness for Jesus
Now let me take the stand, now let me raise my hand
Let me testify, lift my voice on high
I’m a witness, witness for Jesus
Witness, witness for Jesus
Witness, I’m witness for Jesus
