\"\"<\/h6>\n
I saw the man do wondrous things<\/h6>\n
Many I cannot explain\u2026<\/h6>\n
But as I live and breathe, I tell you His story still remains\u2026<\/h6>\n
This is no tall tale, its true every word, listen and I\u2019ll tell you everything I saw and heard\u2026<\/h6>\n
To the wise, you will recognize, this man I have seen with my own eyes<\/h6>\n
I walked with him and ate with him, I lived with him, and I\u2019m here to testify\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m a witness; I\u2019ll tell you the truth of who this man truly is\u2026<\/h6>\n
I saw him feed five thousand, I heard him preach to multitudes\u2026<\/h6>\n
He spit in some clay and made some mud, then stuck it in a blind man\u2019s eyes<\/h6>\n
Onlookers gasped shaking their heads and changed their attitudes<\/h6>\n
He went to the synagogue every Sabbath<\/h6>\n
His father\u2019s house was a house of prayer<\/h6>\n
And when he put a lashing on the money changers there<\/h6>\n
I witnessed his disapproval of how they didn\u2019t care\u2026<\/h6>\n
Most tender, was the way he honored little children, how gentle and kind he was to them<\/h6>\n
Telling them they are the future and letting them hug him\u2026<\/h6>\n
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\u2026<\/h6>\n
The woman at the well, she found out who he was\u2026and running to her village saying, come and see the man\u2026he is the true Messiah and on his word we can stand\u2026<\/h6>\n
I saw a Commander; a solider under his command, needed a healing touch. Just say the word Master, it won\u2019t take much\u2026And in that same hour, faith had made him whole.<\/h6>\n
Oh it was such\u2026<\/h6>\n
Delightful, and puzzling, but I knew there was something more\u2026this man had to be\u2026He had to be the Lord!<\/h6>\n
And watching as they tried him, and nailed him to a tree\u2026I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt this man from Galilee\u2026<\/h6>\n
He is the one, God\u2019s only Son, came to set men free!!<\/h6>\n
I am a witness, who lived to tell this story unto thee!<\/h6>\n
Two thousand years from when I lived, you\u2019ll see him in a book\u2026<\/h6>\n
Don\u2019t waste your time wondering, open and take a look\u2026<\/h6>\n
And when the Holy Spirit Woo\u2019s your questioning heart\u2026<\/h6>\n
Believe me friend I witnessed him\u2026open your heart and let him in\u2026<\/h6>\n
And you too, will be a witness\u2026that God\u2019s love never ends!<\/h6>\n
~M.S. O\u2019Neill December 28, 2017<\/h6>\n
You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard.<\/em> Acts 22:15 New International Version (NIV) <\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
