(Soft piano chords building)
Oh… oh…
Thank You, Jesus…
This is my story…
This is my testimony…
My name is Kelly, this is my testimony
I’ve walked through valleys where no one believed in me
Some called me the black sheep, the one who’d never rise
But God saw the warrior hidden in my eyes
I carried pain with a smile on my face
Still found the strength to finish the race
Though my pockets were empty, my heart was full of love
For I knew my help would come from above
I cried in the midnight hour
I prayed when no one heard a sound
But then the light began to shower
And now my feet are on solid ground
Yes Lord!
I am the black sheep no more, I’m a child of the King
Kelly is walking in the promise that the morning brings
From the shadows into the light, I’m rising up high
With the grace of the Savior, I’m touching the sky
Oh, praise Him, I’m not who I used to be
Kelly is free, yeah, Kelly is finally free!
People had labels, they had so much to say
They didn't see the path that the Lord paved my way
I was overlooked, hidden in the back of the line
But the Master of Time said, Kelly, your season is mine
I kept on pressing, I kept on holding on tight
Turning my struggles into a beacon of light
Every stone that they threw, I built a ladder so tall
With God as my portion, I’ll never, ever fall
I am the black sheep no more, I’m a child of the King
Kelly is walking in the promise that the morning brings
From the shadows into the light, I’m rising up high
With the grace of the Savior, I’m touching the sky
Oh, praise Him, I’m not who I used to be
Kelly is free, yeah, Kelly is finally free!
(Choir swells)
Glory, glory, the chains have fallen down
I traded my ashes for a beautiful crown
Kelly is rising, Kelly is strong
I’ve found my place where I belong
Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus!
So if you’re out there and you feel you’ve lost your way
Just look at my life, look at the price that He paid
If He did it for me, He will do it for you
Making the old life completely made new
I stand as a witness, a testimony of grace
Look at the smile on this Kelly’s face!
I am the black sheep no more, I’m a child of the King
Kelly is walking in the promise that the morning brings
From the shadows into the light, I’m rising up high
With the grace of the Savior, I’m touching the sky
Oh, praise Him, I’m not who I used to be
Kelly is free, yeah, Kelly is finally free!
Kelly is free, oh, thank You Lord
No more sheep, I’m a child of the King
I’m home, I’m home, I’m home
Amen!
