“Witness”
My whole life is changin’, I could not ask for more
I was down so long, I thought I’d never get up
But my prayers were heard and they were answered
And now the Lord is filling my cup
My momma and my Aunt Virginia
Say love God with all that’s in ya
And there ain’t no words to say how I feel
But I know in my heart, the love of God is real
The love of God, the love of God is real
I was so down-hearted, and I was paranoid
Thought everyone was against me, the devil stole my joy
But the Holy Ghost start falling I’ll never forget that day
Every thing started comin’ together
The very moment I began to pray
My momma and my Aunt Virginia
Say love God with all that’s in ya
Knock – and the door will open
Knock and the door will open
I’m a witness – I’m a witness – a witness to your love
Gonna testify – gonna testify – I wanna testify
I’m a witness – I’m a witness to your love
Ooh Lord – I wanna tell everybody – gonna testify
About your love – ’cause I’m a witness
Witness to your love – gonna testify – gonna testify
I’m a witness – witness to your love
Oh, testify now – been so good to me, testify
Set, set, set me free
I was too mean to live, too wicked to die
I wanna testify, ’cause I’m a witness to your love
This one’s for Saint Shine
Saint Shine
Saint James Black
Saint James Booker
Saint Professor Longhair
And Saint Gerald Tillman
Gonna testify – keep on knockin’ – keep on searchin’
Keep on seekin’ – keep on knockin’ – keep on lookin’
Keep on searchin’ – you will find what you need
It is right there – what you need
