Living Testimony
Doug Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am, a living testimony
I could have been dead and gone
But Lord you let me live on
I am, a living testimony
And i, I thank the Lord for keeping me alive

I've seen miracles after miracles
Performed in my life
You kept having mercy on me
I didn't even deserve to be alive
When I see danger that I couldn't see
You kept your angels all around me
And I want to take the time out
And say, I thank you Lord I'm still live.

I have many friends and loved one
That's gone on before me
Lord it caused my heart to bleed
But I realize that it could have been me
I know that I'm worthy
But Lord, you keep on, keeping me
And I thank you Lord
And I thank you Lord that I'm still alive

I am, a living testimony
I could have been dead and gone
But Lord you let me live on
I am, a living testimony
And I thank the Lord I'm still live.

I thank you
I thank you for being a live
When I woke up this morning I had food
Food for my family




I had my health
And thank you Lord for my strength
I have a roof over my head
I was able to walk out my door
Thank you... I'm alive
