God and I

Testify

I walked the earth empty without purpose
Sowing and tending the hard ground
Without a seed to harvest.
Fishing day and night unable
To catch a single provision
Ran miles tired and the marathon
Endless , directionless all so painful
All I prayed for denied of me
My mind, strength and soul failing me.
I longed for it all to end.
Till when I cried.
Cry I did for years on
So far my God felt and lonely was I .

Till one given day a thought entered
My very mind , my troubled mind
For no longer could I pretend
Lie to myself I can when I could not.
On my knees I went
Poured out my heart
Laid it all bare
To the heavens I cried out His name
Submitting my dreams , my sins
My unbecoming ways and hopes.
To Him I gave it all up my humanity
In order to be a vessel of the Almighty
Surrendered myself to be His alone.
Peace came over me.

He restored it all that I gave up
He cut it off what haunted me
He opened my eyes to life and its beauty
He took me as I am broken and scared
Gave me courage and hope
I fulfilled my dreams
He surpassed them
He showed me He is the same
And His name will be glorified
He parted my seas
Those He did not He built me an ark
Sent His angels to watch over me
He gave me provision, life and love.

He saved my life
Mended every broken part of me
He holds my hand now
As I pen my story now
Moved I am to tears.
True love which created me
That died in my stead
Walks ahead ,besides and behind me
Covered I am in His blood
His Spirit dwells within me
I exalt His name forever
Gracious is the Lord of Hosts
God of Abraham, Jacob , Issac and I
May His name echo through ages
For I am seeing His works
Live in His love and forgiveness
I have found a new teaching and
To the world I will proclaim
I have met Him who was ,is and still to come.

Hear my story for if I can be saved
My brothers and sisters so can you
Hear me now as I testify
As I shout out to the ends of the world
I found Him He is alive
Jesus is His name.
