Come Closer 03:55
Come Closer “After a middle of the night battle with major spiritual warfare, I started saying over and over and then singing in desperation these words, ‘Come closer, I need You to come closer’. I kept on praying and singing this for about an hour and then sat down at the piano and within thirty minutes, the song was finished. God used this song to begin my Freedom journey.” – Wayne Tester Beautiful, so beautiful Your love is working deep in me Adonai, sweet Adonai Your love is rising up in me Come closer I need You to come closer I open up my heart I open up my heart Come closer I need You to come closer I want to know Your heart I want to know Your heart Jesus I love Your Name, Jesus El Shaddai, my El Shaddai I long for You, my heart’s desire Emmanuel, Emmanuel My God with me, my Holy Fire (Repeat Chorus) You know Your plans for me Open my eyes to see Lord, give me victory Abundant grace My heart cries out to You Your living word I trust I need Your healing touch I seek Your face Come closer (Repeat Chorus)

That’s Who I Am (Part One of Four) “After Esther and I went through the Freedom Courses I woke up in the middle of the night and started reading God’s Word. God shared with me that I needed to keep myself away from idols. I went into my studio and gathered up all my music awards and threw them in the trash. I had struggled for years with believing the lie that I had to perform to gain approval. Unbeknownst to Esther and I, we both had the same idea about putting the “Who Am I” segment to music so that we could meditate on it by singing it. So about 3 days later of us both having the same thought, I was sitting down at the piano with the book and composing some music for it when Esther walked into the studio and told me that she’d been wanting to do the same thing, so she got on the mic while I played keys and I pressed record and the music simultaneously spilled out of both of us. Afterwards, we realized that many other people might want to meditate on these truths in God’s Word using this song too. And that’s how this all got started. The song has made a huge impact on us. We are now singing God’s truths at all hours of the day and night and it’s a constant source of inspiration.” – Wayne Tester I am the salt of the earth (echo) I am the light of the world (echo) I am a child of God (echo) I am part of the true vine (echo) A channel of Christ’s life (echo) I am Christ’s friend (echo) I am chosen and appointed (echo) By Christ to bear His fruit (echo) I am a slave of righteousness (echo) I am enslaved to God (echo) I am a son of God (echo) God is spiritually my Father (echo) I am a joint heir with Christ (echo) Sharing His inheritance with Him (echo) I am a temple (echo) A dwelling place of God (echo) His Spirit and His life (echo) Dwell in me (echo) (All sing) I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo)

Eyes Of Faith “During a particular ‘perfect storm’ of circumstances in life, the old hymn ‘Be Thou My Vision’ popped into my head as I struggled with pride, panic attacks and anxiety. I loved the idea of combining something old with something new and the rest is history with this song. I pray it will be as much of an encouragement to others as it has for me.” – Wayne Tester You are my vision, oh Lord of my heart Nothing compares to You, bright Morning Star You’re my best thought, by day and by night Waking or sleeping, Your presence my light You give me eyes of faith You are my only Truth You shine Your light so I see You You are my guiding lamp A lighthouse in the night My vision now and for always You give me eyes of faith You are my wisdom, You are my true Word I ever with You and You with me, Lord You’re my great Father, and I’m Your true son You in me dwelling, and I with You one (Repeat chorus) I choose to believe in Your Truth I choose to keep my eyes on You (Repeat Chorus)

That’s Who I Am (Part Two of Four) “I grew up with all brothers and as a child I both enjoyed and hated being the only girl. I loved being daddy’s little princess but it seemed that as a girl, I didn’t get to participate in some of the activities my brothers got to and as a teen girl, the restrictions on where I could go by myself were a real sore spot with me. Though I understand that in the natural, those restrictions were for my own protection, I also understand that in the spirit, I’m not promised any less of an inheritance just because I’m a woman and I know full well that I’m every bit as dangerous to the devil as my spiritual brothers are. In Christ, I am like a SON and I LOVE that!” – Esther Tester I am united to the Lord (echo) And am one spirit with Him (echo) I am a member of Christ’s body (echo) I am a new creation (echo) I am reconciled to God (echo) And am a minister of reconciliation (echo) I am a son of God (echo) And one in Christ (echo) I am an heir of God (echo) Since I am a son of God (echo) I am a saint (echo) I am God’s workmanship (echo) His handiwork (echo) Born anew in Christ to do His work (echo) I am a fellow citizen (echo) With the rest of God’s family (echo) I am a prisoner of Christ (echo) I am righteous and holy (echo) (All sing) I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo)

We Choose Life “Words have a powerful effect on us, either for the good or for the bad. We’ve lived with believing this world’s lies far too long. We wanted to put a stake in the ground and say, ‘we choose life instead of death’. We wanted this song to be a unified declaration between us all to sing together, ‘We Choose Life’.” – Wayne and Esther Tester You are near us now We will follow You You give life and love All Your ways are true We will walk with You And keep Your commands So that You may bless With Your faithful hands We choose life, we choose life We love You Lord our God And place our faith in You We turn away from sin to know what is true We choose life, we choose life May we grow in love And know more of You You’re our help and guide You’re the way and truth As we turn to You As we listen now May Your holy Word In our hearts resound (Repeat Chorus) Your holy Word renews our minds Transformed, we are made new in Christ We walk by faith and not by sight And by Your Spirit, not by our might (Repeat Chorus) Words & Music by Wayne Tester, Esther Tester. © 2017 Tester Electricity Music (ASCAP) / Fuzzy Socks Music (BMI) (both admin. by Music Services). ℗&© 2017 Testricity Music Group.

That’s Who I Am (Part Three of Four) “Even though my flesh is in a process of sanctification, my spirit will never be any more perfect than it became at the moment when I was seven years old when Jesus and I became one. I love to close my eyes and see myself seated in Heaven because truth be told, that’s actually where I am… right now. You see, when David wrote my favorite Psalm, Psalm 84, which I affectionately call ‘The Banana Psalm’ because it’s the perfect food, David was talking about where he actually was, in the dwelling place of God, not some place He wished He was. We can come boldly before the throne of God because we’re already there. We are not guests in His house, we live there, right now. Let that just blow your mind for a minute...” – Esther Tester I am a citizen of heaven (echo) Seated in heaven right now (echo) I am hidden with Christ in God (echo) I’m an expression of the life of Christ (echo) Because He is my life (echo) I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved (echo) I am a son of light (echo) And not of darkness (echo) I am a holy partaker (echo) Of a heavenly calling (echo) I’m a partaker of Christ (echo) I share in His life (echo) I am one of God’s living stones (echo) Being built up in Christ as a spiritual house (echo) I am a member (echo) Of a chosen race (echo) A royal priesthood (echo) A holy nation (echo) A people for God’s own possession (echo) (All sing) I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo)

Living In Colour “I was unhappy and I couldn’t figure out why. So I went on vacation thinking that would replenish my smile… but it didn’t. So as I was completely miserable walking along Florida’s beach voted ‘most beautiful in the nation’, I read Proverbs 27:20 and I realized that as long as my desires didn’t line up with God’s, I would never be happy. I changed that day. Everything changed that day.” – Esther Tester Desire is like the grave It can’t be satisfied Soulsick to pierce the grey Searching for truth in lies My spirit cries out loud And defies my fear and doubt Praise the Lord, oh my soul All my inmost being, praise Your Holy Name Praise the Lord, oh my soul Every part of me is now a different shade Living in colour Now I’m living in colour Arise, o’ dawn of day With my new song of light Above the clouds of grey The sun defies the night I’m waking from the lies Truth has opened up my eyes (Repeat Chorus) I will live, I will live by the Spirit of God I am His, I am His, purchased by His blood I believe, I believe I’m on eagle’s wings I receive, I receive, I am free to sing (repeat) (Repeat Chorus 2x’s)

That’s Who I Am (Part Four of Four) “Wayne and I are sci-fi junkies. We actually have enough Star Trek ornaments to cover an entire Christmas tree. So the fact that we are aliens in this world really strikes a fun chord with us. But on a serious note, it helps us to put things in perspective, especially when it comes to politics. We can get so wound up about being a good patriot that we can forget where our permanent citizenship actually is… in Heaven. How are we being a good patriot of our ‘mother country’ right here and right now… in this temporary world?” – Esther Tester I am an alien (echo) And stranger to this world (echo) In which I temporarily live (echo) I am an enemy of the devil (echo) I am a child of God (echo) And I will resemble Christ when He returns (echo) I am born of God (echo) And the evil one cannot touch me (echo) No, the devil cannot touch me (echo) (All sing) I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am I am not the great “I am” But by the grace of God, I am what I am That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo) That’s who I am (echo)

Standing Stronger “We all come to a point in life when we need to put a stake in the ground. This is that song. ‘Nuf said.” – Wayne and Esther Tester Your divine power Has given me all that I need To live a life of godliness ‘Cause I know You, the One who made me You called me by Your glory You called me by Your goodness You’ve given me a story Makes me wanna sing I’m standing stronger Than I could ever stand on my own Here in Your power There’s nothing that I can’t overcome When I’m standing in the power of Your love Every hour You’re giving me all that I need To live a life of holiness Oh, I love You, the One who made me You called me by Your glory You called me by Your goodness You’ve given me a story Makes me wanna sing (Repeat Chorus) You called me by Your glory You called me by Your goodness You’ve given me a story Makes me wanna sing (repeat) Makes me wanna sing (Repeat Chorus) When I’m standing in the power of Your love

Ever Present God (Psalm 139) “I feel a kinship to King David, author of the psalms, because it was more natural for him to sing about God than to speak about him. I hope that as you sing this psalm that you will recapture some of the original ‘heart’ of David, the man after God’s own heart.” – Wayne Tester Oh Lord, You have searched me and known me You know when I lay down and when I rise up And from heaven You discover my thoughts You observe my wanderings and my dreaming You are aware of all my ways Before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, Lord You have encircled me; You have placed Your hand on me This extraordinary knowledge is beyond me It is higher; I am unable to reach it Where can I hide to escape Your Spirit Where can I flee from Your presence If I climb to the sky, You are there If I go underground, You are there If I live at the eastern horizon or settle at the western limits Even there Your hand will lead me Your right hand would hold on to me If I say, “Let the darkness hide me And let the light around me turn into night” Even in darkness I cannot hide from You To You the night shines bright as day Darkness and light are the same to You You are the One who created my deepest parts You formed me in my mother’s womb I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made Your works are miraculous And my soul knows it very well My bones were not hidden from You When I was made in secret When I was formed in the depths of the earth Your eyes saw me when I was formless All my days were written in Your book And planned before a single one of them began How precious also are Your thoughts Concerning me, oh God How vast their sum is If I counted them, they would outnumber the grains of sand When I wake up, I am still with You God, do away with wickedness for good Keep away from me, those who thirst for blood Who speak against You wickedly Your enemies take Your name in vain Oh Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate You See how I loathe all this godless arrogance I hate it with all my heart Your enemies are my enemies Search me, God, and know my heart Test me and know my concerns See if there is any sinful way in me Lead me in the everlasting way

My Father 03:53
My Father “Events in my life left me wallowing in self-pity and low self-esteem. ‘I am the apple of God’s eye’ was just a phrase and seemed foreign to me. This song was born out of my need to know that I really matter to God.” – Wayne Tester I believe You are intimate And involved with me So kind and compassionate Always with me Slow to anger Full of mercy In You I’m complete Heavenly Father, You are my Father I am the apple of Your eye, my Father Heavenly Father, You are my Father I am the apple of Your eye, my Father I believe You are full of joy And You’re proud of me So warm and affectionate Holy, complete Tender hearted and forgiving You have made me clean (Repeat Chorus 2x)
12.
Freely Forgive “My greatest healing has come after and because of forgiveness. Sometimes I realize a new level of hurt and have to forgive all over again. It starts with admitting to myself who and what I need to forgive and then in my mind writing a check made out to that person out of my own checking account to pay for the damages that they caused. The real freedom comes when I realize that my checking account is being perpetually replenished with the forgiveness that God has and continues to show to me. Because He forgave me first, I have the capacity and ‘funds’ to forgive others.” – Esther Tester Forgive our sins as we forgive You taught us, Lord to pray But You alone can grant us grace To live the words we say To live the words we say How can Your pardon reach and bless The unforgiving heart That broods on wrongs and will not let Old bitterness depart Old bitterness depart You freely forgave, so we forgive We freely forgive our brothers You freely forgave, so we forgive We freely forgive our sisters O-o-oh, o-o-oh In blazing light Your cross reveals The truth we dimly knew What trivial debts are owed to us How great our debt to You How great our debt to You Lord cleanse the depths within our souls And bound resentment cease Then bound to all in bonds of love Our lives will spread Your peace Our lives will spread Your peace (Repeat Chorus 2x)
13.
Butterfly 03:59
Butterfly “This is my story, this is my song. It wasn’t until I was 30 years old that I started down the road to healing, so if you’re thinking you’re too old and it’s too late, you’re not and it’s not. I remember that God Himself was spinning my cocoon, creating a safe place for the quiet work He was planning. Then when all the tears had finally been cried and the nightmares had finally turned into dreams, I was ready to begin my struggle to find my wings. And yes, He was there every step of the way, whispering encouragement to me as I struggled with fear and self-doubt. Today, I fly on faith and yes, He’s still here, helping me fly.” – Esther Tester Torn, stained and broken Afraid to be free I was still a child inside I was so afraid to fly Through silent dark You held my heart You were calling me “holy” You were calling me “free” I am free The stone is rolled away I am free The sun is on my face I was lost in pride and blinded by the pain Then You set me free and called me from the grave Fly, fly Break free from this chrysalis Fly, butterfly Spread your wings Touch the sky Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly Truth was a fire That burned off my fears Finally I was breaking through You were making all things new Your love has won My chains undone Now I’m standing here holy Now I’m standing here free (Repeat Chorus) Fly, fly You’re free from this chrysalis Fly, butterfly Spread your wings Touch the sky Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly

One “We’ve worshipped along with Nicole at church for years and have always wanted to collaborate on something creative with her but the timing wasn’t right… yet. So as we were writing for this project, it happened… God set up a divine appointment right there in the church aisle and that’s when we all knew this was the time. The nation and the world is so divided these days and there’s no better time than now for the church to step up and lead as a unified body. This was the beat that was pulsing in each of our hearts as we wrote this song. If we don’t unify, then how will they ever see Jesus in us?” – Wayne and Esther Tester You and me may not always see identically And there’s some things where we’re simply gonna disagree A tune of many notes can still have harmony, a symphony ‘Cause I need you and brother, you need me And they’ll know we are one By the way we love, by the way we love And they’ll know we are one By the way we love, by the way we love Take my hand and walk a mile with me and you will see Together we can conquer anything in unity Through the blood of Christ He turns diversity to family ‘Cause I need you and sister, you need me (Repeat Chorus) There is just one Spirit One hope, one body We believe, we believe There is one baptism One faith and Lord of all We believe, we believe (Repeat Chorus 2x) By the way we love, by the way we love By the way we love, by the way we love
15.
It’s A Brave New World “One of the hardest things we ever have to do is leave the past behind. It takes bravery and trusting that God’s going to protect us when we step out onto the water and into that brave new world.” – Wayne and Esther Tester What is forgotten, forgotten by time doesn’t matter anymore What is eternal, eternally mine, will I take to Heaven’s door All that I’ll ever need I have now in Christ This is the first day of the rest of my life It’s a brave new world I’m leaving my past behind It’s a brave new world I know who I am in Christ I believe, I believe Jesus gave me the victory I’m renewed, I’m redeemed It’s a brave new world for me I’m flyin’ free I’m flyin’ free I won’t be shaken, I won’t be slowed down ‘cause my past has been redeemed Looking to Heaven, my future is now, dreamin’ how the Father dreams I am transformed by the renewing of my mind Each day becoming more and more like Jesus Christ (Repeat Chorus 2x)
16.
My New Name 03:21
My New Name “This song was written out of my “stuck-ness” in my life. I started singing these truths I had read about in the Freedom materials and I started believing the past is really in the past and that God is all about making all things new, including me.” – Wayne Tester Beloved, so beautiful Protected, unashamed Forgiven, presentable In Jesus My new name My new name Thank You, Father God For my new name Established, Your work of art Adopted, I am free So treasured, I am loved In Jesus (Repeat Chorus) In Christ I am made holy In Christ complete In Christ I am made holy In Christ complete (Repeat Chorus 2x)
