Testify To Love
Avalon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins

Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak what love has done

For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love

Colors of the rainbow, voices of the wind
Dream that reaches out where love begins
Word of every story, star in every sky
Corner of creation testify
Mountain to the valley, river to the sea
Hand that reaches out to offer peace
A simple act of mercy, kingdom come
Every heart will speak what love has done
Colors of the rainbow, voices of the wind (testify, testify)
Dream that reaches out where love begins
Word of every story, star in every sky (testify, testify)
Corner of creation testify

For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love

For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love

For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough




With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love

I am not ashamed to say that I LOVE JESUS.

@AngelGirl90602

I just learned that this was my son-in-law's favorite song ~ we lost him to cancer over a year ago. I feel sure he's singing it directly to his Savior in Glory! But I still can't listen to it without crying!!! Oh, God, does the grief and hurt ever go away?

@TheChrisnew

Ten years later, I pray that you still see His faithful hand upholding you and your family through every trial. You'll always grieve the absence but you won't always mourn the passing. Maybe you're still with us, maybe you're with him now, but either way you will testify to God's love forever.

@christianchickpeajesussaves

It took me about 3 years to feel relief from grieving the loss of the love of my life. And it still lingers once and a while after. But the Lord draws near to the brokenhearted hearted and he will uplift you and mount you on wings of an eagle and gives you His peace and Joy, which it truly is a blessing to just have peace and Joy, even if nothing else. Suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope. Never stop reaching for the Lord dear loved one! Imagine how worth it and wonderful it will be when we make it over to the other side to be with our Father and our saviour! It always hurts when you're going through something, but peace and Joy, the rainbow always awaits us with relief on the other side of it. Praise Him 👏 🙌 🙏
May you be blessed abundantly in Christ Jesus!

@trublu2556

This old Jarhead is still crying.. Semper Fi Jesus the only faithful one

@Elizabethlynn123

I love you my sister in Christ. Stay strong.

@TerryandAntigone

May the Lord comfort you and heal you in your grief. Remember that He is in the valley of the shadow of death WITH you. I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray that you are comforted completely in Jesus' Name, amen.
