My Soul Is a Witness

[Intro]
And now we've mentioned about the spirituals
And no program would be complete without them
So I'm singing one now, "My Soul Is a Witness For My Lord."

[Verse 1]
Oh, Lord, what manner of man is this?
All nations in the hymn are blessed
All things are done by His will
He spoke to the sea, and the sea stood still

[Chorus]
Now ain't that a witness for my Lord
Ain't that a witness for my Lord
Ain't that a witness for my Lord
Soul is a witness for my Lord

{Verse 2]
There was a man of the fairer seas
Named Nicodemus and he wouldn't believe
The same tame to Christ by night
Wanted to taught out of human sight
Old Nicodemus desired to know
If a man could be born when he was old
He told Nicodemus as a friend
Man, you must be born again
Marvel not, if you would be wise
Repent, believe, and be baptized

[Chorus]
Then you'll be a witness
Oh yes, you you'll be a witness
Ah, you'll be a witness
My soul is a witness

[Verse 3]
Now, you read about Samson, from his birth
The strongest man to ever live on earth
Samson went out at one time
And killed ten thousand Philistines
Then ol' Samson went wandering about
His strength was never found out
'Til his wife sat upon his knee
Said, "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
Samson's wife, she talked so fair
Samson said, "Just to cut off my hair
Shave my head just as clean as my hand
My strength will come like a natural man"

[Chorus]
Now, wasn't he a witness?
Tell me, wasn't he a witness?
Oh, Samson was a witness
My soul is a witness
Can I get another witness?
Can I get another witness?
Won't you be a witness?
My soul is a witness for my Lord
My soul is a witness for my Lord
