The Story I'll Tell // maverick city music cover by Melody Joy

well hi there :)

As many of you know, I've been figuring out how to do life as a single mom since the beginning of this year, and I have recently arrived at a place of healing where I feel ready to sing again - ready to share some of my life with all of you again. So, here we are at a new beginning: The Story I'll Tell.

In this time of rebuilding, I will attach a link to my patreon page where - if anyone feels led to do so - can support me financially in this transition. Any amount, great or small, is deeply appreciated.

LYRICS:
The hour is dark
And it's hard to see
What You are doin' here in the ruins
And where this will lead
Oh, but I know
That down through the years
I'll look on this moment and see Your hand on it
And know You were here

And I'll testify of the battles You've won
How You were my portion when there wasn't enough
And I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed
The waters You parted, the waves that I've walked
Singing, oh-oh-oh, my God did not fail (Yeah)
Oh-oh-oh, it's the story I'll tell
Singing, oh-oh-oh, I know it is well
Oh-oh-oh, it's the story I'll tell

Believing gets hard
When options are few
When I can't see what You're doin', I know that You're proving
You're the God who comes through
Oh, but I know (Woo, yeah)
That over the years
I'll look back on this moment and see Your hand on it
And know You were here

And I'll testify of the battles You've won, yeah-yeah
How You were my portion when there wasn't enough, oh
I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed, yes, I will
The waters You parted, the waves that I've walked (Woo)
Singing, oh-oh-oh, my God did not fail
Singing, oh-oh-oh, that's the story I'll tell, oh
Oh-oh-oh, I know it is well, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, it's the story I'll tell (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And all that is left is highest praises, yeah, yeah
So sing hallelujah to the Rock of Ages
Come on, sing it, all that's left
All that is left is highest praises, so sing it, sing it
So sing hallelujah to the Rock, to the Rock of Ages

And I'll testify of the battles You've won
How You were my portion when there wasn't enough
And I'll sing the song of the seas
That we crossed
The waters You parted, the waves that I've walked

Singing, oh-oh-oh, my God did not fail
Never ever failed me
Oh-oh-oh, it's the story I'll tell
It's my testimony
Oh-oh-oh, I know it is well
Oh-oh-oh, that's the story I'll tell
It's the story I'll tell
It's the story I'll tell

No one can sing anything like Melody. She is not promoted by the evil music industry yet continues to astound music lovers in Christ. Melody sang this after she got divorced. This was her comeback song, after moths of silence. It is a good song to cry tears of sadness and despair and cleanse the heart. May our loving Father bless and keep her always.

I want to say that for the past 5 years, I've been so blessed by your worship and your videos. I have used your videos to worship Him in my darkest times and you and your channel have been a great blessing to me and have stirred a hunger for me to get into His holy presence through pure worship like you model for us. Thank you for your faithfulness and for sharing your heart with us on your channel all these years. God bless you and keep singing to Him, Melody!!

Oh Melody, I rarely leave comments but I feel pressed to share. I have been following you since 2014 and have been blessed by your gift so many times. This video came to my feed tonight during a very tough day that started in 2018.

In 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
In 2019 I had my breast removed and now suffer from CRPS.
I'm 2020, my 6 children and I were freed from my/my children's abusive husband/father after 24 yrs.
In 2021 my oldest son passed after battling cancer himself at age 27.
In 2023, 33 days ago, my daughter was overtaken by mental illness and ended her own life. In 5 days it will be her 16th birthday.

I believe the Holy Spirit made this song show on my feed exactly at the right time and by exactly who it needed to come through. Please, don't ever allow the enemy to plant any lie in your mind that would cause you to question your worth in the Kingdom of YHWH. I am very grateful we are in the same tribe 💜

[EdMarl]

[rendalutz]

[jonahdove]

Hi Melody, I am at a lost for words and pray for your heart and the heart of your daughter.

Your songs have always been a huge blessing in my darkest moments. And God has worked in my heart through your ministry. Even now hearing that our God doesn’t fail, I needed that right now.

With much love I wish I could give you a hug my sister. And pray that our Father comforts you under His wings.

Ironically... I was just listening to Paul Wilbur... on Jacobs Tent (Shavuot 2024), when I suddenly got this incredible "urge" to see if there was ANYTHING, of you on "Utube" or elsewhere.... and found this video and song. You have Such an Angelic voice... so full of the LORD from your heart.... and am SO thankful that you have Not strayed from YHWH. I always loved your voice and singing on Jacobs Tent.... then, you were gone & my heart sank.... but, now that I've found you again (Thank You, Father!!), here on I can listen to my hearts content. 🥰

I've also subscribed and "liked" this video.... as I know I will for each and Every one of your video's. May YHWH Bless, Keep and Protect you... in ALL your ways... ALWAYS!! Blessings to you, Num.6:24-26.

[samanthan]

So absolutely beautiful 💛 Praise Yeshua for the voice and anointing He's gifted you with.

[theologyman]

Hang in there. There are many praying for you.

[josieloredo]

[TonetBuban]

One of my favorite song. I wish I could sing worship to Jesus as beautiful as you do. ❤

[ServantofYeshuatheTruth]

HALLELUYAH!! GLORY TO GOD, our sister is kept by the Lord and He still and always will continue to use His true Servants!! I will thank God for you my dear sister in Christ, the enemy may win a battle but the Victory belongs to God and His anointed, what an encouragement in Yeshua of your persevering In Christ and your continuing to sing His praises! God bless you mightly I am filled with Joy to see you again. Glory to God
