Witness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told her it depends
Where do you evaluate your growth
Is it in this world or in your soul
Or the one that said eternal life is to know
Do you place it on a mortgage
Put it on a home
You should know That my heart beats to a different rhythm
If it not about this Kingdom then I don't want to know
So we need to be clear
Because I don't store no treasure here
Solider in the army of the king
Until the day I disappear I cant afford to entangle
All I know is capture this inheritance and pass on the mantle
For the generations not wealth
This Kingdom is not about self
Giddy up on your high horse were going to war
Like my brother Bay Diamond told them before
Circumcise your heart only the pure will see the Lord
I wont drift away
I need to know that in the deepest of my heart
You've made your home in me
I wont drift away
I need to know that in the deepest of my heart
You've made your home in me
Not trying to follow wicked ways of men
Holy Spirit I just want to be your friend
Out of my friends your the only one who had me when I was sitting in pen
Be my right hand man and we can boogie till the end
You saved me like a keeper
Lead me to my wife a good keeperI'm in good hands your my keeper
Not the best to be around cos I'm not perfect still
But lead me on the path on the path to your perfect will
Was kind of hoping You could take the lead everyday and show me Your ways
If Gods will is over there
Just show me that place
Dear Lord as I crouch to my knees
Give me some words that I can speak onto your feet
Its you that I seek
I need some more of your Spirit its so sweet
Despite so much power my Jesus was so meek
But me simple me what a cheek
Turn the other cheek
I came up living under oppo it as peak
Still peak but now its mount Zion
Iron like a Lion
I got to speak the truth I don't care how they feel
Because the devils on the lurk trying to steal and kill
Fighting bigger battles bigger wars I'm really in the field
These youths screaming out trill
But Truth is a fundamental of real and here is the Truth
Jesus Christ holds your real identity
I wont drift away
I need to know that in the deepest of my heart
You've made your home in me
I wont drift away
I need to know that in the deepest of my heart
You've made your home in me
Meeeee
Meeeee
Made Your home in me
I wont drift away
No I wont
I wont drift
I wont I wont I wont
The song "Carry Me Home" by Witness is a testimony to the artist's faith in God and his commitment to living a life that is true to his beliefs. The song opens with the artist reflecting on the idea of growth and evaluating one's life based on worldly possessions versus the growth of one's soul. He speaks about how his heart beats to a different rhythm, one that is focused on the Kingdom of God. He emphasizes that he has no interest in storing up treasures on earth but instead is focused on seeking an inheritance in the Kingdom of God that he can pass on to future generations.
The artist then goes on to express his desire to follow the holy ways of God and to maintain his connection with the Holy Spirit. He acknowledges that he is not perfect and has made mistakes but is committed to being led by God towards his perfect will. He speaks about his journey, from being in prison to finding his wife with God's help. He asks God to continue leading him and showing him the way, giving him the words to speak to Him and seeking more of God's spirit in his life. The chorus of the song affirms his commitment to not drifting away from God and acknowledging that God has made his home in him.
Line by Line Meaning
She asked me how far I'm trying to go
Someone asked me about my goals
I told her it depends
I answered that my priorities vary
Where do you evaluate your growth
Do you measure success in earthly or spiritual terms?
Is it in this world or in your soul
Does your soul's wellbeing matter more than your earthly success?
Or the one that said eternal life is to know
Does the eternal promise of knowing God matter more?
Do you place it on a mortgage
Is it about buying a house?
Put it on a home
Is it about creating a stable life for yourself?
You should know
Understand that
That my heart beats to a different rhythm
My priorities don't align with the world's
If it not about this Kingdom then I don't want to know
If it's not about serving God's Kingdom, it's not worth my pursuit
So we need to be clear
We need to have a clear understanding
Because I don't store no treasure here
I don't value earthly possessions
Solider in the army of the king
I am a servant of Christ
Until the day I disappear I cant afford to entangle
I need to keep focused until the day I die
All I know is capture this inheritance and pass on the mantle
I aim to attain my spiritual inheritance and share it with others
For the generations not wealth
I aim to leave a legacy for future generations, not just accumulate wealth
This Kingdom is not about self
Serving God's Kingdom is not about personal gain
Giddy up on your high horse were going to war
Get ready for a spiritual fight
Like my brother Bay Diamond told them before
As an inspiration from my brother Bay Diamond's words
Circumcise your heart only the pure will see the Lord
Have a pure heart to be able to see the Lord
I wont drift away
I won't lose my way
I need to know that in the deepest of my heart
I require certainty that in my heart, God dwells
You've made your home in me
God has established a home within me
Not trying to follow wicked ways of men
I choose not to follow the ways of the world
Holy Spirit I just want to be your friend
I seek a friendship with the Holy Spirit
Out of my friends your the only one who had me when I was sitting in pen
The Holy Spirit supported me when I was in prison
Be my right hand man and we can boogie till the end
If the Holy Spirit partners with me, we can face anything
You saved me like a keeper
You kept me safe like a guardian
Lead me to my wife a good keeper
Lead me to the woman who will take care of me
I'm in good hands your my keeper
I trust in God's guidance in my life
Not the best to be around cos I'm not perfect still
I admit that I'm not perfect to be around
But lead me on the path on the path to your perfect will
God, guide me towards your will, even though I'm not perfect
Was kind of hoping You could take the lead everyday and show me Your ways
I desire God to guide me daily and show me his ways
If Gods will is over there
If there's a purpose that God has for me over there
Just show me that place
God, reveal that purpose to me
Dear Lord as I crouch to my knees
As I humble myself before God
Give me some words that I can speak onto your feet
Help me find the right words to express myself to you
Its you that I seek
I seek God's presence
I need some more of your Spirit its so sweet
I crave the Holy Spirit's presence, which is comforting
Despite so much power my Jesus was so meek
Although Jesus' power was immense, he displayed humility
But me simple me what a cheek
I'm comparatively simple and thus, it's audacious of me
Turn the other cheek
I'll act in accordance with Jesus' teachings and be humble
I came up living under oppo it as peak
My upbringing was suffocating, and I want to break free from that
Still peak but now its mount Zion
Although it's still difficult, I'm trying to reach for the mountain of God
Iron like a Lion
I'm strong as a lion because of my iron-like faith
I got to speak the truth I don't care how they feel
I must stick to the truth, regardless of others' feelings
Because the devils on the lurk trying to steal and kill
The devil aims to harm us, so we need to be vigilant
Fighting bigger battles bigger wars I'm really in the field
I'm in the middle of a spiritual battle and war
These youths screaming out trill
Others may focus on the ephemeral pleasures and desires
But Truth is a fundamental of real and here is the Truth
But the reality is that truth is foundational, and here's the truth
Jesus Christ holds your real identity
Your true identity is in Jesus Christ
