Testify Lyrics by Dottie Peoples

Testify

1997

[CHORUS]
Somebody oughta testify
OH somebody oughta testify
Say for God I'll live; for God I'll die
Somebody oughta testify

[VERSE:]
There's been times in my life when I was down and in despair
I fell down on my knees and I called on God in prayer
I thanked Him for His blessings
I named them one by one
But most of all I thank You God for all You've done

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[VERSE:]
Those Hebrew boys can testify how God took out the heat in that fiery fire
Come here Daniel; what do you have to say?
The lions were made pillows for my head to lay.

Can I get a witness (Tell of his goodness)
If God’s been good to you (Testify)
You shouldn’t mind testifying (Tell of his goodness)
How he brought you through (Testify)
Somebody say he’s been a doctor (Tell of his goodness)
In a sick room (Testify)
Or a lawyer (Tell of his goodness)
In a courtroom (Testify)
Somebody needs to tell him (Tell of his goodness)
Get up (Get up, testify)
Tell him (Tell of his goodness)
Get up (Get up, testify)
Tell him (Tell of his goodness)
Get up (Get up, testify)
Come on and tell him (Tell of his goodness)
Get up (Get up, testify)

Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Hey

Somebody oughta testify
Oh, oh, oh, somebody oughta testify
Said for God, I live
For God, I die
Said for God, I live
For God, I die
Said for God, I live
For God, I die
Somebody oughta testify

Hey
Can I get a witness (Tell of his goodness)
Wait a minute (Testify)
Let me testify (Tell of his goodness)
When I think of God’s goodness (Testify)
I realize (Tell of his goodness)
I got a place to walk (Get up, testify)
I got a place to talk (Tell of his goodness)
I got a place to sleep (Get up, testify)
I got food to eat (Get up)
Right now, you need to get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)
Get up (Get up)

Somebody oughta testify
Oh, oh, oh, somebody oughta testify
Said for God, I live
For God, I die
Said for God, I live
For God, I die
Said for God, I live
For God, I die
Somebody oughta testify
Hey

Yeah
Oh, yeah
Testify
Testify
Testify
Yeah
