Testimonies
There’s been a change in me,
And I’m not as I used to be.
Some people feel that I’m acting strange,
But the truth of the matter is there’s been a change
In the way I think and the way I feel;
For, I no longer desire to pretend, but I must be real
In the words I say and the things I do.
I desire only to be honest and true.
I can no longer just allow things to past me by.
Something in side won’t allow me to ignore my brother’s cry.
The places I once frequented is no longer of interest to me,
And in the company of sinners isn’t where I desire to be.
There is a longing to be close to God and to do His will,
And working for Satan is no longer a joy or a thrill.
Something happened when I opened my heart to Christ;
For, He touched me and made a great change in my life.
My heart yearns to share the unconditional love that dwells within,
And the spirit that possesses my body tells me to stay away from sin.
There is a hunger to know what is pleasing in God’s eyesight;
There is a thirst to always do what is good and right.
There’s been a great change in me;
For, I’m not the person I used to be.
I see things through Christ’s eyes;
And, because I can see Satan for who he truly is, with him, I’ve broken all ties.
There is a newness that feels so good inside;
For, the old person that dwelled here has died.
I’m so glad that God has changed me;
For, I no longer desire to be the person I used to be.
I’m not saying that I’m better than anyone else;
I’m only testifying that I know what I’ve been for myself,
And I’m no longer that person and I no longer do those things
Because I now know that there is an unspeakable joy that salvation brings.
The change makes me want to reach out and give a helping hand
To help others realize and understand
That there is a better way to live
And there’s no sinner that God won’t forgive.
This change makes me want to tell everyone that I meet
That until they have received this change, their lives won’t be complete.
There has been a change that makes me love instead of hate
And remain on the path, which is called “straight”.
There is something inside that looks beyond faults to see needs
And forgive my enemies for their evil deeds
To hurt me and to cause me harm in whatever way
And try to persuade them from continuously going astray.
I no longer desire to harbor hate and take revenge upon others,
But it gives me a desire to love and forgive my sisters and brothers.
Yes, there has been a great change in my life;
For, I now desire to follow after Christ.
