WHAT WORD?
What is this feeling that tells me that God loves me so,
Whispers in my heart that He makes all things grow?
What is it that sparks the mind enlightening me with truth?
What tells me Jesus is my Saviour without physical proof?
I know that Jesus lives and will love me throughout all time,
I know I have a Father above and one day heaven will be mine,
I know we have the truth restored in these latter days
That tells us of God’s goodness and pure eternal ways.
This knowledge means more to me than life itself,
More than untold riches or enormous mounds of wealth.
So what word could fit this feeling and knowledge so sweet?
One that tells me that one day, my family, and Christ, I’ll meet
If I’m worthy in celestial halls, where peace will always reign,
Is Testimony strong enough? Or should another word gain
The prize that would give voice that could proclaim
Oh, I know, I know that Christ will come to earth again?
Will come in all His glory and I want to be by His side
Shouting the proclamation, truth now cannot hide
This Testimony. Will this word then have to suffice
For the feelings of gratitude for His willing sacrifice?
