My Testimony

I've done lost all my money, and almost my wife.

Depressed deep down with thoughts of losing my life.

And I've been trying so hard with all of my might.

But I just can't seem to get this right.

I've done been through hell and high water.

Negative bank account trying to piece together dollars with quarters.

Just to show I support her.

But the further I reached, I only ended up shorter.

Y'all don't know my story.

Was chasing Christ reaching out for his glory.

Working late nights I sacrificed my sleep for work time.

The thoughts of selling drugs came questioning do I go back to the grind?

Or jeopardize my freedom for nickels and dimes?

Scarred on the inside but acting like I'm fine.

And daily I fed life, encouragement, faith, and hope.

It's like doing CPR to heal you and I intake your choke.

I guess that's what the calling do.

All along I've encouraged you to hold on, but I was falling too.

I've been soaked by the rain.

I've done broke these chains.

Battled this season now I'm passing through.

And still vowing that I'll stick by your side so now you're passing too.

I've spilled so many silent tears on this church floor.

And knowing that we vowed
