You Live My Testimony

My love is strong.
I use you though the many things you've done wrong.
The road was long but the past is gone and now you have a new song.
A new page to flip;
A new chapter to write;
A new part on this big script.
Satan may try to tempt you as tainted but don't you listen to his games because 
your life
will be my testimony too.
And now the new words you'll speak and the lives you'll renew will bring glory to 
me and
my son who was slew.
Though I warn you, in this new page your company will be few
People may not get you but they'll run later coming to you with their issues
They'll see how you've overcame and then you'll tell 'em bout me and your life will 
then
be shown my testimony. . . 
                                                     You live my testimony.

I was sad when i wrote it. was in a time trying to find myself and my purpose. and when you find who you are you can't always try to fit in with everyone else. so at the time i was seeing things the way i needed to but had to make that decision. and knowing that even when you have done alot of bad things you can still be used for good . :) i hope this encourages you
