Witnessing

They stood to witness in the street
Their lives in Christ anew
Preach love at Jesus’ feet
Yet heard by just a few

It’s good to hear when someone share
“God touched my heart today”
I loved their songs, their childlike prayers
Whilst I was on my way

It’s such a thrill God’s truth to hear
His praises flood the land
See Christians dance, raise God joyous cheer
That others understand

I saw the joy upon each face
Within their legs a spring
They spoke of Christ, of Heaven’s grace
I felt my heart take wing

Till then, of God I gave no thought
No need of Christ and yet
Twas through their fruit, this fish was caught
So firm in Jesus’ net

How strange to think I gave no fight
No struggle to be free
Instead, I felt a great delight
As Christ came into me

Now truth is mine, I’ve open eyes
This child’s received the call
I too must now evangelise
And bring God’s word to all

For by God’s grace I’m born anew
In Christ I’m safe and sound
Upon the street I’ve joined the few
That others may be found…
