WITNESS
Said to me nobody’s listening
As you scream
You’ve got no witnesses The crimes unseen
And who would really care?
When you’re not here
Will it be the same?
Will it fill the air?
-People you’ve been passing through
Now a piece of you Tomorrow comes to steal you back
Before you go, Just thought you should know
Yeah I just thought you should know
CHORUS:
Not just another day
Not another empty face
You’re a part of me
Your witness here,
I heard,
I see
Not invisible
My arms are opening
To catch you when you fall.
-Midnight melted slow
Once you called
To tell me you’d be gone
When tomorrow comes
Hung up the phone
These rooms are so alone
And you said to me
Who will know?
I’m invisible Nothings gonna change,
home is so alone
Even when I’m here I’m gone
Everywhere is so alone
CHORUS: Not just another day
Not another empty face
You’re a part of me
Your witness here,
I heard,
I see
Not invisible
My arms are opening
To catch you when you fall
Said tonite nobody’s breaking inside
Cause I’m gone
Well you lied
Said you’ve got no witnesses
No one will try To catch you when you fall
I’m witnessing
Eyes are opened wide
I’m never abandoning
My arms are opening
To catch you when you fall
To catch you if you fall
Prayer for Witness
To the God Who Is Judge
Prayer for Those Without A Witness
To the God Who Is Judge,
We ask that You send your Servants and your Messengers
As Witnesses to the Pain, Loneliness and Injustices
That we have endured through all our Years.
We ask that you Write them in Your Book
That all that was stolen would be Recorded for Justice
We ask that the Lonely be Placed in Homes
We ask that the Single be Married
We ask that the Married be Loved
We ask that the Elderly be Visited
We ask that the Sick be Restored
We ask that the Lonely be Embraced
We ask that the Children be Protected
We ask that the Parents be Provided with Wisdom and Patience
We ask that the Broken Hearts be Glued until they are Beautiful Again
We ask that Beaten Bodies are made Perfect and New
We ask that the Fractured Minds be Healed and Seamless
We ask that Shattered Spirits become Stitched back Whole
“You have recorded my wanderings.
You put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in Your book?” Psalm 56:9
