Letra de TESTIMONY - Forrest Frank

Amen

The Bible says there's power in testimony

I grew up in a Christian family, I didn't miss a Sunday or a Wednesday

My mom was in the worship team

And um, yeah I started to

Started to kind of live this secret life, started to give in to sin

Sometime around Junior High, and just started to get, I don’t know, really curious about

Like all the things that weren't in this, you know, Christian church bubble

So, I went out to explore and, um

Really watered a seed of sin that grew and grew and grew and

Long story short, by the time I got into my freshman year of college

I uh, I, I remember I went into college saying, "I'm not going to go in as a Christian"

Like, I believe, I believe God is real

But I'm just going to put that off 'til later

Because I want to go see what the world has to offer me

You know, I want to go have fun

I want to go do what everyone else is doing that I felt like I couldn't

And um, so that whole year I just, I just let loose

And uh, I did everything that I wanted to and um

I led myself down a path of destruction

Every single decision that I made for myself led me

Not only nowhere, but led me just to the end of myself

And so I woke up my sophomore year, just completely broken, fully insecure

I mean, I was not full of joy

It's laughable if you see me now versus who I was back then

I was not the same person

It's hard to even look back at pictures of myself

The facial expressions I'm making, that's just that's not me

And um, in that lowest, lowest point, I was sitting at this coffee shop

And uh, I heard this gentle voice in my head

And it was telling me to go to a church service

And uh

I tried everything, and you know, "Alright, I'll see it through"

So I googled where to go to church

And I saw this church service had a Wednesday night service for, like a college ministry

And so I showed up like an hour late to that, and um

I walked out; the parking lot was empty, the foyer was empty everything

I opened up the doors, and just this, I walked into this rich aroma of worship, really

It was like this spirit-filled thing where like the whole church had fasted for three days

And everything was like an extended six-hour worship, and I walked right in the middle of that

And uh, I just remember walking through the doors, and being like

"Man, I feel lighter already"

Like, I feel like, you know, I feel like this baggage left me

And then, I walked into the sanctuary

I can’t explain, I can't, I can't explain it, but I encountered Jesus

I encountered the Holy Spirit, and uh, yeah, amen

I mean, just to pause there

It's like the spiritual realm is so interesting because

We can't see, we can't see Him, but He is a person

And uh, so, yeah, I walked into that room, and I met a person

I spoke to a person, I was held by a person

I was breathed life into by a person, and uh

See, I got on my knees, and I cried out to Jesus

I said, “Jesus, I'm, I'm sick and tired of living life for myself

I'm sick and tired of the decisions I'm making

I want you to come into my life

I want you to make me a new person

I'm living my life for you

Whatever, whatever this is, whatever I just found

I found home, I found life, I found"

Uh, amen, and um

"Yeah, Lord, you know, take all my stuff, take my career, take my house

Whatever, but just give me Jesus"

I'm telling y'all, it's

He's been so good, and uh, here I am, I mean, I'm whatever, eight years or so

Into my walk with- my true walk with the Lord

And I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart

It's the only way, it's the only source of life

Jesus is the only source of life

Everything else fails, and I just think it's so powerful

I can't believe that my grandad–I found that video of him on YouTube

I didn't even realise, it's just crazy, so

He's like ninety-three now, and I ask him

"Grandad, what's the, what's the meaning of life"

You know, when you look back on your life, it's a pretty heavy conversation

He handles it lightly; he's just like, I really were to spend more time with Jesus

Which is crazy 'cause he's about to you know, be spending more time with Jesus

And he's saying on earth, "Hey, I wish I would've spent more time with Jesus"

So, yeah, if, uh, if I could summarise all that into two words

It would be 'don't wait'

Because Jesus is coming back soon

And when He comes back, are you going to go with Him, or are you going to stay here?

And I just, I know some–at least one person out there has that same burning in their chest that I had

And I just want to let you know

Maybe you're resisting Jesus because you think you're too full of shame

You've done too many things; there's no way Jesus could love me

There's no way; I've done so many things I can't speak on

The Bible says that while we were still sinners, He died for us

And it says that there is nothing that we could ever do to separate His love from us

So there's no

There's no sin too great that He didn't die for

That is why He died; He came to die for our sin

And the Bible also says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord

And believe in your heart that He died and rose again you will be saved

So, in your heart right now, if that's you, if you're feeling that burning, just say

"Lord, I ask that you would–Jesus, would you come into my heart?

Would you make me a new person?

Would you lift the veil from my eyes?

When I read scripture, would you enlighten it, Lord?

Holy Spirit, make me a new person

I believe that you died and rose again for my sins

In Jesus name, Amen."
