Lyrics Bearing Witness - Carrie Newcomer

Bearing Witness

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
