Testimony

This week in New Testament, we read what Christ has to say about marriage and what he has to say about missionary work. This was great for me because it was like the last chapter of my life and the next chapter that is coming up fast.
While I was in church today, I was reminiscing about my mission and how much it meant to me. It really was the greatest thing that I have done so far in my life and I'm so grateful for it. It really strengthened my testimony as I went out and found the lost sheep that had wandered far. It gave me so much joy.
Right now, I feel like I need to share my testimony. And one of the easiest ways that I can do that is through song. My favorite song that expresses perfectly how I feel about my savior is a song called "I Testify" by Janice Kapp Perry.
The lyrics go like this:

I testify of Jesus Christ, My Lord, My King Omnipotent,
Who framed the worlds and scattered stars throughout the firmament.
Who from the dust of earth formed man and gave us breath that we might move.
And gave us laws to serve our God and live with Him in love.

I testify of Jesus Christ, My God, My Unseen Comforter,
For I have sought Him oft through prayer and found Him waiting there.
I have not touched His wounded hands nor yet beheld His holy face
But I have felt His love for me and heart His gentle voice.

I testify of Jesus Christ, Beloved Savior, Precious Friend,
Who suffered death and hell’s abyss to ransom me from sin.
Who came when demons sought my soul and banished them with sword of light.
And when despair would steal my hope His presence stilled the night.

When with all flesh my eyes shall see my blessed Savior face to face
My witness then shall not exceed the truth I know this day.
For God has written Jesus’ name with pen of flame upon my soul
And how can I but testify of Jesus Christ my Lord?

I love my savior so much. I am so grateful for all that He has done for me. I know that He lives and that He loves all of His children. I know that because of his atoning sacrifice, we can all go home to live with him someday.
