The Witness Stand

THE WITNESS STAND

 

Order of the court!

Order of the court!

The gavel was raised

The podium sounded

The call for silence

Speaking without license

It’s a big contempt

Better to keep quiet

If not, charges you'll face

You will pay the price

 

A call for hearing

Everyone should be listening

Wait until you’re called

To be at the witness stand

Be ready to tell the truth

Speak what is right

Don’t make your own stories

Never to share any lies

Say where you’ve been

Reveal what you’ve seen

 

To be at the witness stand

You have to understand

The court shall check your life

Make sure you’ve nothing to hide

The power of your testimony

Depends on your credibility

Don’t you ever forget this

You should be blameless

For the life of the accused

Is in your hand to hold

 

Just make it simple

Hold the Bible

Tell the truth

Nothing but the truth

Tell what you’ve experienced

Share what truly happened

Never ever fabricate

Don’t fool the audience

Everything you said

All will be weighed

 

Listen to your conscience

Make sure you have the evidence

There should be no discrepancies

Whatever you have spoken to witness

Your words will be held against you

You need to be true

To be at the witness stand

Just follow the court’s command

Never ever tell a lie

Or else your testimony will die

Acts 25:5-8 & 26:14-21

 

5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him. 6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought. 7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove. 8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.

 

14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. 21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
