The Witness

Posted on by Marla

 

I saw the man do wondrous things
Many I cannot explain…
But as I live and breathe, I tell you His story still remains…
This is no tall tale, its true every word, listen and I’ll tell you everything I saw and heard…
To the wise, you will recognize, this man I have seen with my own eyes
I walked with him and ate with him, I lived with him, and I’m here to testify…
I’m a witness; I’ll tell you the truth of who this man truly is…
I saw him feed five thousand, I heard him preach to multitudes…
He spit in some clay and made some mud, then stuck it in a blind man’s eyes
Onlookers gasped shaking their heads and changed their attitudes
He went to the synagogue every Sabbath
His father’s house was a house of prayer
And when he put a lashing on the money changers there
I witnessed his disapproval of how they didn’t care…
Most tender, was the way he honored little children, how gentle and kind he was to them
Telling them they are the future and letting them hug him…
He never met a stranger, and the only ones he disliked, where those who pretended to love him, but their hearts were full of lies…
The woman at the well, she found out who he was…and running to her village saying, come and see the man…he is the true Messiah and on his word we can stand…
I saw a Commander; a solider under his command, needed a healing touch. Just say the word Master, it won’t take much…And in that same hour, faith had made him whole.
Oh it was such…
Delightful, and puzzling, but I knew there was something more…this man had to be…He had to be the Lord!
And watching as they tried him, and nailed him to a tree…I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt this man from Galilee…
He is the one, God’s only Son, came to set men free!!
I am a witness, who lived to tell this story unto thee!
Two thousand years from when I lived, you’ll see him in a book…
Don’t waste your time wondering, open and take a look…
And when the Holy Spirit Woo’s your questioning heart…
Believe me friend I witnessed him…open your heart and let him in…
And you too, will be a witness…that God’s love never ends!

You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. Acts 22:15 New International Version (NIV)

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
