Christopher Smith - Testimony lyrics

[JOHN] [Verse 1] In a moment of truth, I can see what I am Like a mist on the bay, that is here and is gone Or a dream that awakes with the coming of dawn So am I I can feel something more Stirring deep in my soul A burning for things I've neglected so long A yearning to sing the rest of the unfinished song Of my life [Chorus] And the man that I was, I cast upon the fury of the sea Let the wind and the waves wash away the fool I used to be And I won't be ashamed to stand and proclaim I am free I am free [Verse 2] And I know in my soul It was not in me to change But God in his mercy has called me by name And he lifted me out of the pit of my shame And ordained, I shall live [Chorus] And the man that I was, I cast upon the fury of the sea Let the wind and the waves wash away the fool I used to be And I won't be ashamed to stand and proclaim I am free I am free And I never can repay what the Lord forgave this day He came for me, came to set me free
