Story Behind The Song
We (the composers) are worship leaders in our church. Our church is very much a community, and we wanted to have a congregational song that would encourage excitement and outward orientation.
Song Description
The message of "Testify" is to encourage people in the Christian community to live out and share their faith. The song posits that God's love can transform normally alienated human relationships into a life-giving community, and that this should be communicated and made visible.

Lyrics
CHORUS
We're gonna testify of His mercy,
We're gonna testify of His love,
We're gonna testify of His faithfulness,
He is the only God.
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 1
Come on, church, let's testify,
Give Him all the glory,
Come on, church, let's be the light,
Tell the gospel story,
Come, on church, now don't delay,
Fulfill the great commission,
Tell the world of Jesus' love,
Tell them what they're missin'.
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Tell the world the Lord will hear,
Every time His children call,
Tell them how He picks us up,
Every time we fall,
Show the love He gives to every,
Sister, every brother,
Let them see the love of God,
In our love for one another.
BRIDGE
Jesus is all that we need,
He's our Savior, our deliverer,
He'll set us free ...
