Testify
The Booth Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done
His Love has changed my life
I've gotta stand and testify
I want to make it known
Can't believe the mercy that I've been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I've gotta stand and testify.
Grace came to me and my soul is compelled
I've got such good news that I just can't keep to myself
I've got to tell someone
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done
His Love has changed my life
I've gotta stand and testify
I want to make it known
Can't believe the mercy that I've been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I've gotta stand and testify
Feels like a fire that is shut in my bones
His Word says, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so"

The Booth Brothers' "Testify" is a gospel song that speaks to the overwhelming joy and gratitude one experiences upon encountering the transformational power of God's love. The lyrics urge the listener to share this experience and spread the good word, emphasizing the importance of bearing witness to the ways in which the Lord has changed one's life.
The opening lines of the song state that the singer "gotta tell someone" about the "mighty" things that the Lord has done in their life, a sentiment that is repeated throughout the song. The recognition of the transformative power of God's love is accompanied by a feeling of urgency and a desire to share this joy with others. The second verse speaks of the singer's compulsion to share the "good news" that they have received with others, reflecting an eagerness to help others experience the same transformative power.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's belief in the power of testimony - the act of sharing one's experiences and beliefs with others. The repeated refrain of "testify" is a call to action: to share the good news and to bear witness to the miraculous works of the Lord. The song's lively and uplifting melody, along with its unambiguous declaration of faith and gratitude, serves to emphasize the transformative power that comes with an encounter with God's love.

Amen! So many Christians keep their mouth closed when it comes to the love and grace of God! Maybe we're ashamed of the way people know us and don't want to look like a hypocrite OR they're afraid people might find out that they have an "invisible Friend." That would be crazy!
Truth? Our Father is more real than the air we breath! Glorify Him! Praise Him! If you love Him, you will want EVERYONE to know Him.

I thank you so much. God Bless You. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
