Who'll be a witness for my Lord? Oh I'll be a witness for my Lord. There was a man of the Pharisees, His name was Nicodemus and he didn't believe. The same came to Christ by night, wanted to be taught out of human sight. Nicodemus was a man who desired to know how a man can be born when he is old. Christ told nicodemus as a friend, "Man, you must be born again" He said, "Marvel not, If you want to be wise, repent, believe and be baptized." Then you'll be a witness for my Lord. You'll be a witness for my Lord. You'll be a witness for my Lord, soul is a witness for my Lord. You read about Samson, from his birth he was the strongest man that ever lied on earth. Way back yonder in the ancient times he killed ten thousand of the Philistines. Then old sameson went a wandering about. Samson's stregth was never found out. 'Til his wife sat up on his knee. She said, "Tell me where you strength lies, if you please" Well old Samson's wife, she talked so fair Samson said,"cut off a my hair" "Cut it off" "Shave my head just as clean as your hand, and my strength will come like a natural man."

I sang this song my Junior year with my Show Choir. It was one of my favorites, and I still look at the music and sing it today as a sophomore in college. If only I knew that performing that song would be the last time I'd sing with them in a choral sitting. Ugh, I miss choir.
This is a choir that exhibits true discipline. They've truly absorbed what their fine director has taught them. They should be proud of themselves. They're comparable to the Robert Frost choirs!
Yes God! Brings back High School Choir Days: Jack Yates Sr. High School Concert Choir (1989 - 1993); Mary Baskum Butler Director! Those truly were the days!
Oh! Ehhe, Sorry about that! I have dual tabs open so yeah. ^-^ Now I'm embarrassed! Oh well. Now I have another reason to come back hear and listen to this beauty~ I'm actually looking into applying to Gustavus Adolphus..
I did this song at my high school….we had to change like sOoO many things to it (poor altos got like dEmOliSHeD) but it was so much fun!!! even if we only had like ONE tenor 2
+Brandon Butler It's for that very reason that I hate to hear/see white choirs performing Black music. It's very inauthentic and very dull after seeing/hearing the same music performed by Black choirs.
+Brandon Butler I know this is an old comment but still - the setting isn't correct. The choir wasn't there to praise or perform at a service but to deliver a vocal performance. They weren't concerned with evangelisation or belief and spreading thereof, their only concern in a setting such as this is that harmonies stick and to have that you can't move but concentrate on hitting notes and following the conductor's lead.
How can the audience be stirred by the music if the choir seems to be so disengaged? I agree with Brandon. As thoroughly rehearsed as this choir is, once they get onstage, they don't concentrate so much on nailing the harmonies; that's going to happen. They focus on getting the feeling out -- taught to me by three members of the L. A. Master Chorale.
I did this song for choir in 6th grade... I’m a freshman now and I still know all the words lol
We are doing this for our highschool Chambers
@@brogle437 same
our pfps are so similar that at first, I thought I'd commented
I sang this song with my choir and to this day it's one of the first ones I think of when I remember them. Truly beautiful, and so much fun!
i’m practicing this on my kazoo right now
How did it go

Who'll be a witness for my Lord?
Oh I'll be a witness for my Lord.
There was a man of the Pharisees,
His name was Nicodemus and he didn't believe.
The same came to Christ by night,
wanted to be taught out of human sight.
Nicodemus was a man who desired to know
how a man can be born when he is old.
Christ told nicodemus as a friend,
"Man, you must be born again"
He said, "Marvel not, If you want to be wise,
repent, believe and be baptized."
Then you'll be a witness for my Lord.
You'll be a witness for my Lord.
You'll be a witness for my Lord, soul is a witness for my Lord.
You read about Samson, from his birth
he was the strongest man that ever lied on earth.
Way back yonder in the ancient times
he killed ten thousand of the Philistines.
Then old sameson went a wandering about.
Samson's stregth was never found out.
'Til his wife sat up on his knee.
She said, "Tell me where you strength lies, if you please"
Well old Samson's wife, she talked so fair
Samson said,"cut off a my hair" "Cut it off"
"Shave my head just as clean as your hand,
and my strength will come like a natural man."
Samson was a witness for my Lord. Samson was a witness for my Lord. Samson was a witness for my Lord, soul is a witness for my Lord.
There's another witness, there's another witness, there is another witness, there is another witness for my Lord! My soul is a witness for my Lord!!
Thanks so much for the lyrics. That's one frustrating thing about choral music. It's wonderful to sing, but difficult to make all the words clear.
Really love the way he conduct the choir. Inspiring!! Thanks yall
I loved when my choir did this song!!!!!!
My community choir was going to do this, but our director decided against. I was sooo sad. It was one my favorites
I sang this song my Junior year with my Show Choir. It was one of my favorites, and I still look at the music and sing it today as a sophomore in college. If only I knew that performing that song would be the last time I'd sing with them in a choral sitting. Ugh, I miss choir.
The conducter were briliant

Great conductor!!!!
We are doing this for contest this year
AWESOME WITNESS
Love watching the conductor grooving esp @1:42
Right. If you took the time to notice I did have the information on the video @ 9 seconds into the video
Awesome performance. I like this rendition.
Oh! Ehhe, Sorry about that! I have dual tabs open so yeah. ^-^ Now I'm embarrassed! Oh well. Now I have another reason to come back hear and listen to this beauty~ I'm actually looking into applying to Gustavus Adolphus..
Great performance, but not enough bass 2.
Great job all.
I’m doing this piece currently in choir
Beautiful
Amen

Bravo
just started this in 9th grade chamber today!
they played this at my schools award ceremony
I’m singing this in high school choir
I do this at choir and it sounds
Like this
Ah, I love this song. When it's titled Gustavus Choir do you mean from Gustavus Adolphus Collage?
picardy third
Hi if you're here from my twitter
the tenor 1s are a bit loud but otherwise a great performance!
osnapitznoah they are baritones
Good sound BUT!!! None of them are dancing or moving at all. You need to feel the music within you or nobody will believe a word you're saying.
Brandon Butler You don't need to move around to feel the music. I've seen many choirs put on moving performances without moving at all.
Brandon Butler Watch 'Alleluia' (arr. Tavener, I believe). That piece gives me chills and the choirs aren't moving in that one.
+Brandon Butler It's for that very reason that I hate to hear/see white choirs performing Black music. It's very inauthentic and very dull after seeing/hearing the same music performed by Black choirs.
