My soul is a witness for my Lord

My soul is a witness for my Lord quater

1 You read in the Bible and you understand
Mathuselah was the oldest man
He lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
He died and went to Heaven, Lord ! In-a due time.
Mathuselah is a witness for my Lord

2 You read in the Bible and you understand
Samson was the strongest man
Samson went out at-a one time
And he killed about a thousand of the Philistine
Delilah fooled Samson, this-a we know
For the Holy Bible tells us so :
She shaved off his head, just as clean as your hand
And his strength became the same As any natural man

Now Samson is a witness for my Lord

3 Now Daniel was a Hebrew child
He went to pray to his God a while ;
The king for Daniel at once did send
And he put him right down in the lion’s den.
God sent His Angels, the lions for to keep
And Daniel lay down and went to sleep.

Now Daniel is a witness for my Lord

So who’ll be a witness for my Lord ?
So who’ll be a witness for my Lord ?
My soul is a witness for my Lord,
My soul is a witness for my Lord !
