Bearing Witness - Carrie Newcomer

Could you be some redemption

Could you be some relief?

Could you be a safe haven?

Do you promise to believe?

When I tell you these stories

Every pain and hard won glory

Bear witness to a journey

That’s been well traveled so far

So very far

Don’t you want to know sometimes?

How close we’re getting

It seems like we’re leaping

Into the kingdom of God

But I’m coming undone

I’m all loose ends and ravels Bear witness to a journey

That’s bee well traveled so far

So very far

So believe me, heal me

Believe me, it’s all true

Believe me, You can heal me

It’s all true

I can feel my heart beating

I can feel my chest heaving

I close my eyes and wonder

Did I really run so far

Could you be some forgiveness

By not passing judgment

Bear Witness to the shouting

And every pregnant stillness

So believe me, heal me

Believe me, it’s all true

Believe me, you can heal me

It’s all true

I’ve haven’t always known you

But I never tried to hurt you

I’ve always had the hunger

And I’ve changed my own rules

I’ve made my mistakes

Too many to mention

Bear witness to a life

Lived with good intentions

So far

So very far
