Witness

(album: Brother's Keeper - 1990)

I ain't never ever really, felt this way before
My whole life is changing, 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 coming 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
