“Testify” – The Booth Brothers (Live Performance)

By

In Featured, Gospel Music, Headline

Be blessed by this beautiful gospel song, “Testify,” by the Booth Brothers. The message of this song reaches beyond melody and harmony and speaks directly to the heart of every believer. It is a reminder that faith was never meant to be hidden or kept silent. The grace and mercy of God at work in our lives become a testimony that others need to hear. Through every trial, every answered prayer, every season of struggle, and every moment of victory, God continues to reveal His faithfulness. Songs like this encourage us to reflect on where we once were and how far the Lord has brought us through His love and power.

As followers of Christ, we are called to testify about the transforming power of the gospel in our lives. Our stories may all be different, but they all point to the same Savior who changes hearts and renews lives. We can speak of how Christ lifted us from fear, restored our hope, strengthened our faith, and continues to shape us day by day into His likeness. There is power in sharing what God has done because someone else may be waiting to hear that message of hope and encouragement. May this song inspire us to boldly tell our story and joyfully proclaim the goodness of God, giving Him all the glory for the work He continues to do within us.

About The Booth Brothers

The Booth Brothers was initially formed in the 1950s by Ron Booth Sr. with his brothers Charles, James, and Wallace, after they moved to Detroit. However, Ron decided to disband the group in 1963 when he joined The Toney Brothers. In 1990, Ron’s youngest son, Michael, decided to revive the group with his brother Ronnie II (b. June 28, 1965), and his father. They started performing and touring around Florida and recorded several albums. In 1998, Ron decided to retire and the remaining brothers started looking for a replacement. They recorded several albums with Joseph Smith, who was later replaced by Jim Brady. Brady remained with them until 2014, at which point he was replaced by Paul Lancaster.

Testify Lyrics

Song by The Booth Brothers

I’m looking for someone, for anyone
Who can stand up and tell what the Lord has done for ’em
Has He been faithful? Has He been merciful?
Come on now, I want someone to rise up and testify

I’ve got to tell someone
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done
His love has changed my life
I’ve got to stand and testify
I want to make it known
Can’t believe the mercy that I’ve been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I’ve got to stand and testify

Grace came to me and my soul is compelled
I’ve got such good news that I just can’t keep to myself

I’ve got to tell someone
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done
His love has changed my life
I’ve got to stand and testify
I want to make it known
Can’t believe the mercy that I’ve been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I’ve got to stand and testify

Feels like a fire that is shut in my bones
His Word says, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so”
Testify

I’ve got to tell someone
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done
His love has changed my life
I’ve got to stand and testify
I want to make it known
Can’t believe the mercy that I’ve been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I’ve got to stand and testify

Took away my guilt and sin (testify, testify)
Gave me peace and joy within (testify, testify)
Oh, I’m forgiven for everything that I’ve done wrong (I’m forgiven for – I’ve done wrong)
And if it’s true for you, get on your feet and sing along, yeah

I’ve got to tell someone
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done (what my Lord has done)
His Love has changed my life
I’ve got to stand and testify (wanna testify)
I want to make it known (want to make it known)
Can’t believe the mercy that I’ve been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I’ve got to stand and testify (come on and testify)

I’ve got to tell someone
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done
His love has changed my life
I’ve got to stand and testify (wanna testify)
I want to make it known (want to make it known)
Can’t believe the mercy that I’ve been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I’ve got to stand and testify

I’ve got to tell someone
What a mighty thing that my Lord has done
His love has changed my life
I’ve got to stand and testify (I wanna testify)
I want to make it known (want to make it known)
Can’t believe the mercy that I’ve been shown
Got joy and hope inside
I’ve got to stand and testify

In Featured, Gospel Music, Headline

The joyful promise of the Lord’s return has always been one of the most encouraging and hope-filled messages in the Christian faith. What a wonderful reminder it is to know that Jesus is coming again, and that His promises never fail. There is a special kind of excitement and anticipation that fills the heart when listening to songs that celebrate this truth. It lifts the spirit and turns our attention away from the challenges and uncertainties of this world, reminding us to keep our eyes fixed on the hope we have in Christ. Songs like these do more than entertain—they inspire faith, strengthen believers, and create an atmosphere of joyful expectation.

We can rejoice and sing along with the uplifting gospel classic “Soon and Very Soon,” beautifully written by Andre Crouch and powerfully performed by the well-acclaimed gospel singer Jessy Dixon. His passionate and energetic delivery captures the excitement and expectation of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in such a meaningful way. The words bring to mind the powerful testimony of Jesus to the churches in the book of Revelation: “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” What a glorious promise and what a blessed hope for all who believe. Hallelujah! May this song encourage hearts, renew faith, and fill everyone who listens with joy and expectation as we await His coming.

Soon and Very Soon Lyrics

Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King

Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King

Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the king

No more cryin there,
We are going to see the King

No more cryin there,
We are going to see the King

No more cryin there,
We are going to see the King
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the King

Should there be any rivers we must cross
Should there be any mountains we must climb
God will supply all the strength that we need
Give us strength till we reach the other side.

We have come from every nation, God knows each of us by name.
Jesus shed[took] his blood and he washed my sins.
he washed them all away.
Yes there are some of us who have laid down our lives but we
all shall live again on the other side… soon and very soon.

Hallelujah
Halleljuah
We’re going to see the King!

This beautiful gospel song brings back so many wonderful memories and reminds me of the incredible blessing that was Vestal Goodman’s voice and ministry. She was truly one of the greatest female gospel singers of her generation, and there was something deeply special and heartfelt about the way she sang. Her music was never just about vocal ability—it carried sincerity, passion, and a spirit that touched people in a powerful way. Listening to her sing always had a way of reaching beyond the melody and speaking directly to the soul, bringing comfort, joy, and a reminder of God’s goodness.

Her rendition of “What A Lovely Name” in this Bill & Gloria Gaither Homecoming Concert is such a beautiful testimony to the remarkable gift she was given and the incredible presence she brought whenever she stood before an audience. You can hear not only her talent and singing prowess, but also the faith and conviction behind every word she sang.
