My Testimony Rhythm

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr.

My Testimony Got Rhythm

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah

I don’t tell my story sad no more
I tell it with a praise
’Cause every place I should’ve lost
The Lord still made a way

My testimony got rhythm

[Verse 1]
I’ve had nights I cried hard
But I made it to the day
Had to walk through some fire
But I didn’t burn away

I had trouble in my house
Pressure on my mind
But the Lord kept moving
Right on time

Now when I look back
I don’t just see pain
I see mercy in the middle
And grace on my name

[Pre-Chorus]
So I don’t just talk it
I don’t just say it
When I think of His goodness
My whole soul plays it

[Chorus]
My testimony got rhythm
My testimony got swing
Every time I tell it
I remember what He did for me

My testimony got rhythm
My testimony got soul
The Lord brought me through it
And He made me whole

I got joy in the story
Praise in the pain
Every beat reminds me
He did it again

My testimony got rhythm

[Brass Drop]
Ba-da-bap, ba-da-bap
Ba-da-bap-bap-bap

Ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah

Rhythm in my story
Rhythm in my praise

[Verse 2]
I was down but not finished
Bent but not broke
Had a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of hope

I had people walk away
But the Lord stayed close
And the thing that tried to kill me
Became my witness most

Now I don’t hide my scars
They got purpose now
Every wound got a lesson
Every tear got a sound

[Pre-Chorus]
So I don’t just talk it
I don’t just say it
When I think of His goodness
My whole soul plays it

[Chorus]
My testimony got rhythm
My testimony got swing
Every time I tell it
I remember what He did for me

My testimony got rhythm
My testimony got soul
The Lord brought me through it
And He made me whole

I got joy in the story
Praise in the pain
Every beat reminds me
He did it again

My testimony got rhythm

[Bridge]
The tears had rhythm
The prayers had rhythm
The waiting had rhythm
The breakthrough had rhythm

The struggle had rhythm
The mercy had rhythm
The blessing had rhythm
And now my praise got rhythm

[Call and Response]

[Vamp]
My testimony
My testimony
My testimony got rhythm

My testimony
My testimony
My testimony got rhythm

[Modulation]
I got a reason
I got a song
I got a story
That carried me on

I got a witness
I got a sound
The Lord picked me up
And turned me around

[Final Vamp]
Rhythm in my hands
Rhythm in my feet
Rhythm in my soul
For what He did for me

Rhythm in my praise
Rhythm in my song
The Lord brought me through
And I’m still holding on

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah

I don’t tell my story sad no more
I tell it with a praise

My testimony got rhythm
