Lyrics

I was blinded, You gave me eyes to see
I was going under, You reached out to me
No, there's nothing You won't do
To pick me up and pull me through
Every hour, eight days a week, yeah

Your love is like a fountain
It'll never run dry, it'll never run dry
Your love is moving mountains
Every day of my life, every day of my life
Can I get a witness?
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, Hallelujah
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, Hallelujah

We want glory, but can't measure up
We try money, but don't get enough
We fill our sky with fainted lights
Try'n to guide us through the night
But You're the one thing, that'll carry us
Because...

So much love, so much grace
C'mon now (can I get a witness?)
Somebody in this place
C'mon now (can I get a witness?)
So much love, so much grace
C'mon now (can I get a witness?)
Somebody in this place
C'mon now (can I get a witness?)
Oooooooh

Can I get a witness?
Ooh, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Ooh, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Oh-ooh, yeah, can I get a witness?
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, can I get a witness?
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, can I get a witness?

Meaning & Inspiration

Jordan Feliz's "Witness," released in 2018 as part of his album *Future*, stands as a powerful anthem of faith and evangelical purpose, resonating deeply with its call to action rooted in biblical principles. The song centers on the transformative power of personal testimony and the believer's responsibility to share the good news, echoing the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." Feliz captures this mandate with an encouraging perspective, suggesting that our very lives, transformed by God's grace, become the most potent witness. This idea finds strong support in 1 Peter 3:15, which advises, "...always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." The song's message implies that this readiness isn't just about intellectual articulation, but a lived reality that compels questions and opens doors for dialogue about one's faith. Furthermore, "Witness" challenges the notion of passive Christianity, pushing listeners to actively embody their beliefs. This active engagement aligns with the concept of being "the salt of the earth" (Matthew 5:13), a metaphor for influencing and preserving the world through righteous living and bold proclamation. The song encourages a fearless approach to sharing one's faith, a sentiment reflected in Philippians 1:20, where Paul expresses his longing that Christ "will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death," demonstrating an unwavering commitment to magnify God regardless of circumstances. Feliz's work here is not merely about reciting scripture; it’s about internalizing its directives and allowing that inner transformation to naturally spill outwards, becoming an undeniable testimony to the divine work within. It’s an invitation to embrace the spiritual calling to be a living testament, a beacon of hope that draws others to the source of that hope.
