Mercy Chinwo - Testimony Lyrics
Lyrics
I been through this process
And it know it is not easy
I'm a testimony
I've got some things to tell you
keep on believing, keep on pushing forward yeah
You are the best yes, yes among the rest
You will be the next
Don't you ever give up 'cause I'm
I'm a testimony
Ebezina, ebezina
I'm a testimony
Ebezina, ebezina
Cry no more
You've got wings to fly
The mountain high
Through the storms and through the rain
Through the stormy weather when your eyes are heavy
Cheta na Chukwu no nso (God is close)
Today is a new just like a birthday
Never had a sad day
Though it may delay
Just keep on moving and keep the fire burning
'Cause I see a new day
As we all are moving along
You are the best yes, yes among the rest
You will be the next
Don't you ever give up 'cause I'm
I'm a testimony
Ebezina, ebezina
I'm a testimony
Ebezina, ebezina
Cry no more
Look beside you
What do you see
Don't you know that you are a champion
After all you have been through
You will come out stronger
I'm a testimony
Ebezina, ebezina
I'm a testimony
Ebezina, ebezina
I'm a testimony
Testimony
I'm a Testimony
I'm a testimony
Ebezina, ebezina
Don't you cry no more
Wipe your tears

Meaning & Inspiration
Mercy Chinwo's "Testimony," released on October 27, 2023, is a powerful anthem of hope and resilience that resonates deeply with anyone who has faced adversity. The song’s central message is a profound declaration of victory over trials, asserting that the struggles endured are not in vain but serve as a testament to God's enduring faithfulness. Chinwo frames her own life experience, and by extension the listener's, as a living testimony, a narrative of overcoming that inspires continued faith. The repeated phrase "Ebezina" – meaning "He has done it" in Igbo – serves as a constant reminder of God's provision and the ultimate triumph He grants.
The lyrical content of "Testimony" draws directly from scriptural truths about perseverance and God's presence in difficult times. The opening lines, "I been through this process, and it know it is not easy," immediately connect with the universal experience of hardship. This sentiment echoes the Apostle Paul's words in Romans 8:18, which states, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Chinwo’s assurance that "you are a testimony" after enduring challenges is a direct reflection of biblical accounts of individuals whose lives became powerful witnesses to God’s power. The exhortation to "keep on believing, keep on pushing forward" and "Don't you ever give up" aligns with the continuous encouragement found throughout Scripture, such as in Galatians 6:9: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
The song’s imagery of overcoming "the mountain high" and navigating "the storms and through the rain" further reinforces its scriptural underpinnings. These metaphors evoke the promises of God’s protection and guidance even in the midst of overwhelming circumstances. The line, "Cheta na Chukwu no nso" ("Remember that God is close"), is a direct invitation to recall Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." The idea that "Today is a new just like a birthday" and "Never had a sad day" signifies a renewed perspective, a fresh start made possible by divine intervention, reminiscent of Lamentations 3:22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." The song’s ultimate message is one of enduring hope and the affirmation that through faith, every believer emerges as a champion, a testament to God’s transformative power.
