Yeah... it’s been a long road. But Your grace met me right where I was.

Verse 1  I was stand-ing... on the edge of the night Looking for a rea-son... to step into the light. The streets had a whisper, they were calling my name Trying to drown out... the sound of Your reign. I had a pocket full of stones, and a heart made of glass Just a ghost in the city, watching my life pass... But You saw the man, beneath the disguise And You wiped the scales... right off of my eyes.

Pre-Chorus  I didn’t choose the water... (no...) The water chose to wash me clean. I didn’t know the price... Until I saw what Calvary would mean. [ "Oh, it's a miracle..."]

Chorus  This is my tes-ti-mo-ny... You picked me up, from the pave-ment And You made me feel ho-ly. They told me I was fin-ished... they said I was lone-ly... But You stood in the fire, and You held me... so close-ly. It’s more than a song... it’s a soul rearranged. I’m still from the block... but my heart has been changed. That’s my tes-ti-mo-ny.

Verse 2 Now these hands... (these hands) That used to reach for the world... Are the same hands I lift... like a flag unfurled. I still got the memories, I still know the struggle and pain But I’m standing in the sunshine... I’m no longer in the rain. The DA had a folder, but the Fa-ther... He had a cross He counted my vic-tory... through every single loss.

Bridge  It wasn't the luck... [ "No, it wasn't the luck"] It wasn't the plug... "No, it wasn't the plug"] It was the blood. (Vocal builds into a soaring, powerful belt) Oh! It was the blood! (That reached way down... to the lowest part of me!)

Chorus  This is my tes-ti-mo-ny... You picked me up, from the pave-ment And You made me feel ho-ly. They told me I was fin-ished... they said I was lone-ly... But You stood in the fire, and You held me... so close-ly. That’s my tes-ti-mo-ny.

Outro  Still got the dirt under my nails... But my soul is white as snow. If He did it for me...  He’ll do it for you. That's my word. My testimony...  "Oh...")
