My Testimony

In realms of despair, where darkness reigns,
He leads me beside still waters, where hope remains.
A path unwinds, where none seemed to exist,
He makes a way, where shadows resist.

Yah, the God of the impossible, He stands tall,
Cracking hard rocks, where waters may fall.
In lions' dens, where fear would grip and hold,
He closes jaws, and whispers, "You are mine, behold."

Walls of Jericho, once impenetrable and strong,
Crumble at His voice, where faith does belong.
In fish's belly, three days passed, yet I breathed,
A miracle unfolded, as God's plan was conceived.

From prison's chains to palace doors, I walked free,
A journey of favor, where destiny was set to be.
Floodwaters raged, for forty days and nights,
Yet in the ark, I found refuge, under God's protective lights.

Samson's strength, in locks of hair did lie,
But when they fell, his power did not die.
Blindness befell, but inner sight did gain,
One push, and triumph, over tyranny's stronghold did remain.

Chains fell off, doors swung wide, I walked out free,
A testament to God's deliverance, for all to see.
Favor from above, protection's shield so bright,
A divine escort, through life's darkest night.

Once lost in sin, with debt unpaid and due,
A Savior came, and paid the price anew.
From death's cold grasp, He raised me to life's stage,
A new beginning dawned, with hope and a new page.

Stoned and forsaken, left to meet my end,
A stranger's kindness, became my unexpected friend.
All riches lost, and health did fade away,
Yet in my weakness, God's strength found its way.

With just a word, my child was healed and whole,
My daughter raised, from death's dark, silent role.
From fishermen, to fishers of men, I was called,
A mission unfolded, with hearts to enthrall.

I am loved, chosen, forgiven, and set free,
A child of God, with a destiny to see.
In His presence, I find my strength and might,
A hope that's unshakable, a future shining bright.
