Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes you just won't understand why life is the way it is (Sometimes you won't understand why life is the way it is)
Things don't always go the way you plan them (Things don't always go the way you plan them)
But I believe God in time is anonymous and through time God reveals all things (I believe God in time is anonymous and through time God reveals all things)
Be still, stand, and love (Be still, stand, and love)
Pay attention (Pay attention)
I just wanna to testify (I just wanna testify)
I just wanna testify
I just wanna testify
I just wanna testify (Testify)
[Verse 2]
When I look back on my life (When I look back on my life)
I shudder when I think of the danger I put myself in (I shudder when I think of the danger I put myself in)
But amazing grace always carried me to safety knowing that I'd go back to the same place again and again (But amazing grace always carried me to safety knowing that I'd go back to the same place again and again)
No one could ever love me the way that you do (No one could ever love me the way that you do)
In spirit, mind, and body I surrender myself daily to you (In spirit, mind, and body I surrender myself daily to you)
[Verse 3]
I just wanna testify
I just wanna testify
I just wanna testify
I just gotta testify
[Verse 4]
So sweet the journey when you learn to love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself, respect yourself, believe in yourself, be yourself (So sweet the journey when you learn to love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself, respect yourself, believe in yourself, be yourself)
With Amazing grace as your constant friend (With Amazing grace as your constant friend)
I am free of danger, I am free of fear, and my mind is at ease
I don't regret yesterday (I don't regret yesterday)
'Cause yesterday made me who I am today ('Cause yesterday made me who I am today)
[Verse 5]
I just wanna testify (I just wanna testify)
I just wanna testify (I just wanna testify)
I just gotta testify
Amazing Grace saved my life (Saved my life)
I just wanna testify (Again, and again, and again)
How Amazing Grace saved my life (Saved my life, saved my life)
I just gotta testify
