Testimony service often started with this phrase
'Greetings Pastors, Elders, family, ushers board and saints'
Standing here to tell my story, walking in the faith
When I think about His goodness, soul cries out in praise
Never seen righteousness forsaken or begging in shame
Under no illusion that it's only by his grace
Faithful has he ever been
And faithful he'll remain
Soul looks back and wonders over and over again
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
Even when, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
Preacher started preaching, children this is the last days
Better get your act together, start changing your ways
So every day and every hour, my prayer stays the same
Keep me by your keeping power, wash me in your name
Far from the mark I press towards far from more than clay
No good have I done to receive mercy in exchange
You see fit to call me worthy, fit enough to stay
Through trials, triumphs, tribulations, in sunshine and rain
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
Even when, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
'S last selection, before we go home to eat
Chicken, curried mutton, steamed veg, jollof, rice and peas
Shield us from all danger as we enter a new week
Peace that passeth understanding, promise perfect peace
Singing songs of gratitude
The songs of the redeemed
Sacrifice of sacrifices [unison], slain upon a tree
Your efficacious blood will never lose its potency
Still performing, still transforming, still reminding me
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
Even when, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
You've been there for me
Even when, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
Even when, and all the time
Even then, and all the time
