1. Men make gods of wood and stone,

But the true God they’ve not known.

He is God Almighty,

As he’s often shown.

Other gods just cannot see

What in future days will be.

For witnesses they look all in vain,

Since none their godship can maintain.

2. Proudly we declare God’s name,

Bearing witness to his fame.

News about his Kingdom,

Boldly we proclaim.

Others thus may come to see

Truth from God that sets them free.

As they grow strong, their voices they’ll raise,

Joining with us to sing his praise.

3. Witnessing exalts God’s name,

Lifts therefrom reproach and shame.

And it warns the wicked,

Who God’s name defame.

Pardon it holds out to men,

If they turn to God again.

Thus bearing witness brings joy and peace

And hope of life that will not cease.
