Lyrics
Started off with a prayer
Even when it felt like no one cared
People crying all around me
Still, I gave my testimony
We were down in the trenches
But faith broke through all defenses
Now that I've got your attention
Let's give thanks with conviction
Hey! They never understood but God did
They never believed but God did
Hard times see they tested my lifeline
Through it all he showed me light like I was blind
Many nights when I cried God was there
See I walked with Grace down in the fire
Spoke life in my storms with a little prayer
Now am swimming with sharks but i don't care
See my God knows whale so beware
Bana yesa kalijo am too blessed
Bana yesa kupisha they got stressed
Bana yesa mulomo I got press
Hey! Now I sing with my melodies
Praise God everywhere he my centre peace
Hey! Now you know what the remedy is
Find God let him be at your center peace
So many nights I cried
But Grace picked me up every time I tried
And through I walk through the fire I survived
Cause his hand keep pulling me through the fire
Now I've made it, and He saved me
Through the trials, His love has never failed me
I've made it, and it changed me
Now I'm stronger, and I pray you see His mercy, see His mercy
Started off with a prayer
Even when it felt like no one cared
People crying all around me
Still, I gave my testimony
We were down in the trenches
But faith broke through all defences
Now that I've got your attention
Let's give thanks with conviction
Our Father, who reigns above
I pray You fill this world with Your eternal love
When the storms tried to drown me, You pulled me up
And when I lost my way, You filled my empty cup
I know I failed You many times, but still You stayed
Even when I strayed, Lord, Your grace remained
You gave me peace in the chaos, light in the dark
When the world tried to break me, You healed my heart
I pray for the lost souls fighting silent wars
May they know Your love is the open door
To the good life, to the hope life
To the joy You promised us, even in the night
Now I've made it, and He saved me
Through the trials, His love has never failed me
I've made it, and it changed me
Now I'm stronger, and I pray you see His glory, see His glory
See His glory, see His glory
Started off with a prayer
Even when it felt like no one cared
People crying all around me
Still, I gave my testimony
We were down in the trenches
But faith broke through all defenses
Now that I've got your attention
Let's give thanks with conviction
