now
It’
s
a
new
season,
let’
s
go
This
is
my
testimony
I
AM
TENDAI —
THE
WARRIOR
WOMAN!
Verse 1
Lord,
When
the
road
was
dark
and
long,
When
my
heart
was
tired
from
the
battles,
You
became
my
strength
and
song.
Through
the
silence,
You
were
speaking,
Through
the
tears,
You
held
my
hand,
When
I
could
not
see
tomorrow,
You
were
teaching
me
to
stand.
Pre-Chorus
You
are
God
upon
the
mountain,
You
are
God
within
the
vale,
You
are
God
inside
the
palace,
And
the
God
who
never
fails.
Chorus
I
am
Tendai,
the
warrior
woman,
Made
by
grace,
refined
by
fire.
Through
the
crushing,
You
have
shaped
me,
Through
the
valley,
You
took
me
higher.
No
trial
will
ever
destroy
me,
No
amount
of
pain
will
shatter
me,
For
the
God
who
carried
me
through
the
darkness
Is
the
God
who
now
is
raising
me.
Verse 2
There
were
moments
I
thought
it
was
over,
Moments
I
could
barely
pray,
But
right
there
in
the
silence,
You
showed
up
and
made
a
way.
When
the
world
around
me
trembled,
You
remained
my
solid
ground,
And
when
I
thought
that
You
were
silent,
Your
power
came
crashing
down.
Pre-Chorus
You
are
God
upon
the
mountain,
You
are
God
within
the
vale,
You
are
God
inside
the
palace,
Faithful
God,
You
never
fail.
Chorus
I
am
Tendai,
the
warrior
woman,
Made
by
grace,
refined
by
fire.
Through
the
crushing,
You
have
shaped
me,
Through
the
valley,
You
took
me
higher.
No
trial
will
ever
destroy
me,
No
amount
of
pain
will
shatter
me,
For
the
God
who
carried
me
through
the
darkness
Is
the
God
who
now
is
raising
me.

English
meaning:
There
is
no
fire
that
can
destroy
What
I
have
entrusted
to
You,
my
God.
There
is
no
mountain,
there
is
no
valley
That
can
take
me
from
Your
hands.
Bridge 2 —
Build
You
taught
me
to
be
a
warrior—
Not
only
when
the
battle
roars,
But
in
pain,
and
in
the
silence,
And
when
I
couldn't
see
the
doors.
You
taught
me
how
to
keep
on
trusting,
You
taught
my
heart
to
still
believe,
You
taught
me
love
in
the
crushing,
And
You
taught
my
soul
to
breathe.
Worship
Section
You
carried
me…
You
sustained
me…
You
never
left
me…
You
never
failed
me…
From
the
pit—
You
carried
me.
From
the
valley—
You
lifted
me.
Through
the
fire—
You
refined
me.
Into
purpose—
You
are
leading
me.
Final
Chorus —
Big
declaration
I
am
Tendai,
the
warrior
woman!
I
am
standing
by
Your
grace!
What
was
meant
to
break
me
Has
become
a
testimony
of
Your
faithfulness!
I
am
Tendai,
the
warrior
woman!
I
have
learned
to
trust
Your
way!
The
God
of
the
valley
Is
the
God
of
my
palace
today!
Outro
I
am
still
here…
Not
because
I
was
strong,
But
because
You
carried
me.
I
am
still
standing…
Not
because
there
was
no
pain,
But
because
You
never
let
me
go.
I
am
Tendai…
The
warrior
woman.
And
my
testimony
will
always
be—
Ebenezer…
Thus
far,
the
Lord
has
helped
me.
You
carried
me.
You
sustained
me.
You
made
me.
And
I
will
worship
You
forever.
This
is
my
testimony
I
AM
TENDAI —
THE
WARRIOR
WOMAN!
