Testify By Cliff Preston
TESTIFY LYRICS
Verse 1
I remember those days at Taylor Tire,
When me, Scott, and Jesse went looking for fights
In the summer of 1995.
We knew it was wrong, but it felt so right.
Verse 2
Then I met Jesus on a Wednesday night
At the Baptist church off of 335.
If you’d give me just a moment of time,
I got something to say!
Chorus 1
Every day since He changed my life,
I’ve been trading dark for the Mornin' Light!
I’ll sing of His love till the day I die!
As long as I’m breathing, I’ll testify!
Verse 3
I could shrink back down and not talk too much
Cause it ruffles feathers when the truth comes up,
But I’d be robbing you of amazing love,
So, I got something to say!
Chorus 2
Every day since He changed my life,
I’ve been trading dark for the Mornin' Light!
I’ll sing of His love till the day I die!
As long as I’m breathing, I’ll testify!
Bridge 1
I could say more, but it’d just be noise.
Give Him your heart, let Him write your story.
See for yourself all the good in store.
He’s just one prayer away!
Chorus 3 (x2)
Every day since He changed my life,
I’ve been trading dark for the Mornin' Light!
I’ll sing of His love till the day I die!
As long as I’m breathing, I’ll testify!
Tag
As long as I’m breathing, I’ll testify!
Hey! Oh, testify! Oh, testify!
Oh, testify! Oh, testify!

cliff preston BIO
“I try to see people through the lens of what God has brought me through and saved me from. I believe that if God can love and use even me, he can love and use anyone.”
It’s been said that what sets Cliff Preston apart is his raw authenticity and compassion. Preston’s music ministry began in 2002 as he began traveling with bands to bring awareness to the love of Jesus as well as the mental health crisis. With his father being a professional counselor and pastor, he was very aware of the effect that mental health was having on the generation, as well as the ultimate source of wellness - the finished work of the cross. He has spent the following twenty years traveling the country writing songs, leading worship, preaching, and even opening businesses geared towards Christ-centered clinical mental healthcare.
Cliff is proud to call Smackover, Arkansas his hometown. He is even prouder of God’s faithfulness through his marriage with his wife Leslie, and the wisdom God provides as they raise their oldest daughter Kannyn (15), their two sons Murphy (12) and Campbell (4), and their youngest daughter, Merritt (1).
Cliff brings over two decades of ministry experience and business development to his partnership with People & Songs. In that time, he has written songs for artists including Newsong, JJ Weeks, Carrolton and more. He has shared the stage with artists such as MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, and Natalie Grant among others. All while opening and building companies that develop platforms to display Christ to a lost and hurting world.
