My Testimony

Lord, how can I show thanks
For what I can never repay,
The grace of forgiveness
You show me everyday.

I was so deep in despair
I had no where to turn
Then you spoke my name
And of Jesus I began to learn.

Many of your faithful
They have loved me so dear,
The day I gave of myself
I prayed full of tears.

These tears were of joy
Pain taken away,
A Lord who could relate
And accept me today.

To Jesus, I gave my life
With no tears of regret,
So many memories
That I'll never forget.

The first song I sang
The words still ring so true,
Sing your praises to the Lord
Each day is a gift anew.

I remember my first
Time reading the Word.
It started to make sense
Better than I had ever heard.

Years have gone by
I have continued to learn,
About this cross of Jesus
The forgiveness I can never earn.

He came as a servant
And died on a cruel cross.
He'll come back a King
To heaven, he'll take us.

One of my favorite verses
Is found in Colossians 3:17*
It guides my life today
In every action, spoken and seen.

Thank you, Jesus,
For your loving grace,
In my deepest sin
You sought to take my place.

With your power and love,
I will spend my days,
Singing and telling all
Of the Lord Jesus and His glories.
