Lyrics:
When I go to Him
When we finally meet
I will know I will know
But I won't know any better than I know now
When I feel the marks
In His hands and feet
I will know I will know
But I won't know any better than I know now
When His glory rests upon me when I feel His warm embrace
When I see forgiveness in the eyes of His celestial face
I will know I will know
But I won't know any better than I know now Story:
"Witness" (Summer 2004)
This song is loosely based on Elder Bruce R. McConkie's final conference address before his death. After a particularly long and trying spiritual time in my life, I personalized his testimony, making it my own. "Witness" is a result. Of all the songs I've written to date, this is the first one so far that's really "mine." It's my testimony in my voice range. This song marks a level of maturity in my music, I think, that I tend not to reach. Boy, if I could get Kenneth Cope to sing this!
