144. Make Me a Witness

1 Make me a witness, dear Savior for thee,
Once I was blinded, but now I can see;
Thine was the touch bro’t me healing divine,
Oh, let the glory be evermore thine!

Refrain:
Telling the story, beautiful story,
Wonderful story of infinite love;
Make me a witness, a brave, faithful witness,
Till I shall see thee in mansions above.

2 Make me a witness by showing in me
Proof of my grace so abundant and free;
Rule in my heart my Redeemer and King,
Let my life echo the words that I sing. [Refrain]

3 Make me a witness, dear Savior, for thee;
Each loving service a tribute shall be,
Telling to others by word or by deed
Jesus is filling my heart’s deepest need. [Refrain]
