I lived to tell about it, I lived to testify.
I lived to tell about it, let God be glorified
Satan's plans to destroy me, backfired like dynamite,
Gave me a testimony, I shall live and not die.
For the moment things looked hopeless, thought I would not survive
I lived to tell about it, I lived to testify.
In a deep dark cave of trouble, my soul was in distress.
Evil whispered in my ear, you've left for dead.
In the trial of my life, all I could do was cry.
And suddenly God breathed in me a second wind to try
Satan, You did not do your homework when you picked me to harass.
You see I wasn't born again just
Yesterday, I've been tested in the past.
I know just how you work, how all you do is lie.
I will not be defeated, I know the Way, the Truth, the Life
