Testimony upon testimony

I am a child of testimony 
A chosen vessel of God
Fashioned to bring Him honor and glory
In my sojourn on this sinful Earth 

My birth heralded  a testimony of greatness 
Growing up was a litany of testimonies
Today I stand as testimony personified 
Beautifully and wonderfully made

Sometimes I am troubled
But never crushed 
Sometimes I am badly hurt but not destroyed 
Sometimes  I am plagued by doubt but never in despair

Handle me with care for I am the apple of His eyes 
He is with me always and so
You  can only be against me at your own peril 
For whom God has blessed no man can curse

Let the child of testimony move on
For his mission has been divinely ordained 
And woe betide any detractors 
Engaged to  bring to nought his divine mission!
