Lyrics

TESTIMONY


1ST: BORN IN THE WINTER BACK IN 62?, LITTLE DID HE KNOW THE THINGS HE?D GO THROUGH. TRYIN? TO BE A KID, SURVIVING WHAT THEY DID, NOW THAT HE?S A MAN, HE BARELY UNDERSTANDS.


CHORUS: WELL LATELY I?VE BEEN RUNNIN? AWAY FROM MYSELF, AND THEIR?S NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME, I SEE IT FOR MYSELF. PLEASE GOD FORGIVE ME , CAUSE I RAN SO FAR AWAY , BUT NOW I?M HOME, I?M HOME TO STAY.


2ND: I WAS AN ANGRY TROUBLED YOUTH FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, AND NOW I FIND LORD AS I CLING TO MY WIFE. ALL THE THINGS I HAVE MISSED, BY RUNNIN? IN FEAR, AND JUST WHEN I DOUBT YOU LORD, YOU?RE ANSWERS ARE SO CLEAR.


CHORUS: WELL LATELY I?VE BEEN SEEING ALL THE THINGS I?VE BEEN THROUGH, THE BLESSINGS HERE BEFORE ME , WELL THERE ALL BECAUSE OF YOU .AND THANK YOU LORD FOR LOVIN? ME JUST THE WAY YOU DO, YOU?VE OPENED MY HEART AND SHOWED ME LOVE , LOVE THAT CAN BE TRUE.

BREAK: AND WHEN I FELL AWAY, YOUR LOVE WAS ALWAYS THERE. YOU NEVER TURNED AWAY, YOU JUST SHOWED ME, HOW MUCH YOU CARE.

SOLO


3RD: AND I NOW I LOOK BACK AT THE PEOPLE WHO?VE COME AND GONE. THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO HELP ME, TRYED TO HELP ME GET ALONG. BUT I WAS NEVER THERE AND YET YOU ALWAYS CARED, AND NOW IT?S PLAIN TO SEE THE LOVE YOU WERE SHOWING ME.


CHORUS: WELL LATELY I?VE BEEN SEEING ALL THE THINGS I?VE DONE WRONG, I DON?T KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS THE WORDS SO I DO IT IN A SONG. PLEASE WILL YOU FORGIVE ME CAUSE I DIDN?T SEE THE LIGHT, WELL GOD HE GRABED MY HEART AND HE MADE IT RIGHT.


BREAK: + WELL I?M GOING HOME
