I Testify

I've walked enough along this lifetimeTo see what matters mostI've spent my days providing shelterWhile chasing things that wouldn't holdI taught you how to kneel in prayerAnd bow your head in faithWhile learning, slowly, how to quietAll the fears that pulled my gazeI've measured worth in passing seasonsAnd worried over things too smallI've counted hours, planned tomorrowsBuilt my walls a little tallYet grace arrived without announcementFound me when I didn't askAnd I learned the Lord is patientEven when I miss the pathHear this truth I give you nowReceive it as my ownI testify that Jesus ChristIs living, loving, knownHe knows you more than words can sayHe loves you as His ownI testify, with you He'll stayNo matter where you goI've seen the gifts He placed within youLong before you understoodThe way you love without conditionChoose the right when no one couldI've watched you show unprompted mercyStand obedient, unafraidAnd felt the pride of Heaven move meIn each faithful choice you madeIt humbles me to walk beside youAs your guide through mortal daysKnow your daddy's only standingIn your Heav'nly Father's placeI've come to know His love for usBecause I feel it riseEvery time you choose the goodBefore my watching eyesHear this truth I give you nowReceive it as my ownI testify that Jesus ChristIs living, loving, knownHe knows you more than words can sayHe loves you as His ownI testify, with you He'll stayNo matter where you goThis world will ask for all your focusYour devotion and your sightIt will offer comfort cheaplyAnd disguise the dark as lightGuard your heart and guard your attentionLearn what deserves your soulFor what you choose to love and followWill decide who holds controlHear this truth I give you nowReceive it as my ownI testify that Jesus ChristIs living, loving, knownHe knows you more than words can sayHe loves you as His ownI testify, with you He'll stayNo matter where you goThis is my witnessThis is my prayerIn Jesus' Holy NameI testify
