My Testimony

MY TESTIMONY

Darkness came upon me like a tsunami 
And Scorched away my smiles 
Pulling me through the shadows of death
Disassembling my tiles

I battled against myself 
Cuz I couldn't flee my fright 
Anger reigned over my voice 
And darkness was my sight 

I felt the turbulence circulating my veins 
The rage of horror parading my scenes 
I feared my fears and hid my pains 
Pretending freedom but mentally in chains 

On day, I felt a man coming my way 
His fragrance overgowned my odor 
His presence made the day 
And once again I felt I had a savior

He touched me and give my life a meaning 
He broke me and give me a new beginning 
He scorched me so I could bleed away my pains 
He baptised me and made me clean again 

He give me a new name and purpose 
He called me his own though he wasn't supposed
I knew I wasn't worthy of him and all his glory but he called me his son; and to me, eternal life he proposed.

I gladly accepted to be his citizen 
Reborned of his love 
Justified by his blood 
and Sanctified by his choice

FOR THIS, I TESTIFY
