Only A Test - Song for Saturday, September 13, 2008

September 9th, 2008

Here is a song that Elder Valerie would like you to learn. Please see the lyrics below. I have enclosed two versions of the song.

Only A Test - version 1

Only A Test - Version 2

Chorus:
It’s only a test that you’re going through,
It’s gonna be over real soon.
Keep the faith;
Don’t give up
For it’s only a test.

Verse 1 (solo):
It’s only a test, you’re going through,
it won’t last always.
Trials come, just to make us strong,
And when they come just hold on
You’ve gotta stand still, keep the faith,
don’t give up, realize
it’s only a test you’re going through.

Chorus (all)

Verse 2 (solo):
Don’t you worry, don’t you fret
My God is not through with you yet
You just try him, don’t deny him
He will make a way
Stand still, Keep the faith
Don’t give up and realize
It’s only a test you’re going through

Chorus (all)

[Vamp, as directed]
Soprano: Keep the faith, don’t give up,
It’s only a test, it’s only a test.

Altos: No matter what you’re going through,
don’t give up,
it’s only a test, it’s only a test.

Tenors: Hold on, be strong,
It’s only a test, it’s only a test.

Vamp (all):
Hold on (repeat as directed)
It’s only a test, it’s only a test. (repeat as directed)
