"Witnesses." Easter or special praise musical for 2-part voices accompanied by keyboard or praise band.

1.
“Testify.” Chorus: "Lord You testify by Your Word, And You testify by Your deeds; Your sacrifice has set me free And gave me grace so sweet; You proved Your awesome love for me When they nailed Your hands and feet."
2.
“I Will Confess.” Psalm 32:5 tells us "I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord'; and You forgave the guilt of my sins."
3.
“Conviction.” Chorus: "I have been freed from the sin that would bind me, I left the chains of my old self behind me; Servant of God going out on my mission, All that I do, I do with conviction."
4.
“Witnesses.” Chorus: "We are witnesses to the mighty Savior, Witnesses to the things that He said; Witnesses to His resurrection: Yes, Jesus is raised from the dead!"
5.
“Surrounded.” Hebrews 12:1 gives us the transcendent image that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. This final song combines that idea with the words of the heavenly anthem, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who was, and is, and is to come."
