Text Translation	Who will be a witness for my Lord? Read the Scriptures and you’ll understand that Samson was the strongest man. Read a little further and you will find God gave him the vict’ry o’er the Philistines. Samson was a witness for my Lord, so, who will be a witness for my Lord? The Persian king could be so mean, still, the Lord told Esther she would be the queen. When Haman started making his evil plans, Esther let him know who was in command. Esther was a witness for my Lord, so, who will be a witness for my Lord? I am a witness for my Lord! Yes, I am a witness for my Lord! My soul is a witness for my Lord! I will be a witness for my Lord! —American Negro Spiritual
