This Is My Story by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

this is my story

intro (john)
this is my story:
the lord has ed me to walk with him,
i must turn from my own path
and begin again.
yes, i am a witness to the lord's goodness and mercy.
jesus died on the cross to grant me life.

verse (john)
i have heard the good news, now i must make a choice
to continue in my own way or to listen to his voice.
thank god, i am a witness to the lord's goodness and mercy.
jesus died on the cross to grant me life.

chorus:
o redeemer, come and take me home.
o dear saviour, your dwelling is my abode;
to you, lord, i belong; your love, lord, strengthens me.
yes to you, lord, i belong,
for your love, lord, makes me strong

verse 3 (richard)
this is my story:
the serpent came at night,
claiming that god is not good,
but emitting the stench of lies.
well, i am a witness to the lord's goodness and mercy.
jesus died on the cross to grant me life.

chorus:
o redeemer, come and take me home.
o dear saviour, your dwelling is my abode;
to you, lord, i belong; your love, lord, strengthens me.
yes, to you, lord, i belong,
for your love, lord, makes me strong.

verse 4 (richard)
the lord keeps to his promises, for his love endures forever.
you can upon him in times of need, and you will be amazed.
see, i am a witness to the lord's goodness and mercy.
jesus died on the cross to grant me life.

chorus:
o redeemer, come and take me home.
o dear saviour, your dwelling is my abode;
to you, lord, i belong; your love, lord, strengthens me.
yes, to you, lord, i belong,
for your love, lord, makes me strong
