A Song of Testimony
by Michael Doyle

By His breath, I learned how to breathe,
Giving my love to His truth and no longer deceived.
I stand with my hands stretched to Heaven above.
I've put away the weakness of hate for God's love.

My heart beats in time with God's song.
I only wonder why it took this long.
I walked into the Lord's path through grace,
With the love of God shining on my face.

I had put my faith in learning to be tough
Only to find it would never be enough.
Lying wounded in a deadman's bed,
Thoughts of Jesus entered my battered head.

Praying to an unknown God, I cried,
Having given up on all else I had tried.
Step by step,  I've found my life revived.
Thanks to God's love, I survived.

This wasn't a time of proverbial one-and-done,
I turned my life over to the Father and the Son.
Asking to be God's servant in my broken heart,
I only hope I can somehow live up to my part.
