Witness of the Light

A few years back, I was memorizing John 1:1-14. This is such a powerful chapter on the beginning and purpose of Jesus’ ministry. So, as usual, I decided to put these verses to song. After dividing it into three sections, I began working on each one. The section for this song, verses 6-9, talks about how John the Baptist was a witness, telling others of the Great Light that was rising over this dark world. Jesus Himself said of him, “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11 KJV) God is calling us today to be His witnesses, too. Isaiah 43:10 says, “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” Will you answer His call with, “Here am I, send me”?

P.S. This is one of the three sections to John 1:1-14. I chose to put this one out first, but the other ones will come out soon by God’s grace!

Lyrics

Verse 1

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.
All men:

Chorus

Witness of the Light,
to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him
might believe, might believe.

Verse 2

He was not that Light, but was sent
to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light,
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
All men:

Chorus

Witness of the Light, to bear witness of the Light,
Witness of the Light, to bear witness of the Light, Oh,
Witness of the Light, to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe, might believe.

Ending

John chapter one, six through nine,
They might believe, might believe!
