dame rev - testify (hands up high) lyrics

with some wild imperfections, like pride, but god knows i’ve got a heart of gold
god knows i can’t see my road, but he knows i keep faith cause it’s all i know
i give it to the lord, god of miracles
that’s why i walk forward and keep both eyes closed
i trust in the lord, cause as far guides go
you’ll never find a better leader, for your heart and soul
you want proof of it? peep the story of my life, here’s the truth of it
enslaved to misery and pain like a true puppet
i lived life on the edge and i blew budgets
i didn’t care about the future cause i couldn’t see it
the superstar i would imagine, thought i couldn’t be it
perverse in desires, it was out of spite
it’s like fighting only cause they said you couldn’t fight
with so much to prove, and nothing to lose
took my heart out on beats, didn’t care who i bruised
cause this was for people who told me i sucked
for all of those people who said to give up
this was for girlfriends who slept with my boys
those who target my heart, those who left me destroyed
this was for anger and hate i would get
towards the kids who would follow me calling me spic
this was for the father who left me alone
who didn’t reach out til the day i was grown
who fed me excuses and blamed it on mom
when i looked at your hands they were as red as the dawn
this was for stages i paid to get on
couldn’t give 20 tickets away, so i bombed
this was for those who ignored all my songs
when you feel no one listens, it’s hard to stay strong
(bridge)
and lord, lord i give it all to you
do with it what you do
because now i know the truth
all that’s good begins with you

(chorus) 2x
that’s why i put my hands up high, way up high, lord
knows i gotta testify, and heal my pride, lord
i know that you provide all my life, god
that’s why i testify, with hands up high, lord

you’re the shelter for the storm that’s above me, lord, all you’ve done is love me
through every moment i was ugly, even when the words i would use were disgusting
i feel safe in it, bless church, i put my faith in it
your word is hope itself when the tragic peaks, that’s why i take notes when the pastor speaks, preach
now i pray more, invest in heavenly stocks like it’s acorns
that’s why cherish every day like god don’t make more
i don’t know how this gonna end like the page torn
still you keep blessing me, though the enemy’s determined to keep stressing me
that’s why i carry to your home what is left of me
but you know that when i serve i give the best of me, lord
my music changed, you know these people hurt me i won’t do the same
because i want to make sure when i use your name
it’s the most beautiful of messages to sooth the pain
so this is for moments i knew you were there
you hugged me in moments you knew i was scared
and this for the day i relinquished my fear
no longer dependent on pills or the beer
so this for the moment you gave me my strength
the day you promoted my spiritual rank
and it’s in this moment i give you my thanks
cause without you i’d empty my heavenly bank
church is the place where i learned to forgive
no longer afflicted or hurt by those kids
no longer defined by the places i’ve lived
cause places just sp-ces, but home is a gift
and pain teaches lessons you’ll never forget
my story’s my spear and it sharpened the tip
so i gave to my father a hug like a kid
dad i forgive you for all that you did

(bridge)
and lord, lord i give it all to you
do with it what you do
because now i know the truth
all that’s good begins with you
