A female-led 80’s country testimony ballad built around Jeremiah 9:23–26 and 1 Corinthians 1:26–31. The song opens with a spoken porch-style memory of being called by the Lord at nine years old. Steel guitar weaves through scenes of Moses at the burning bush, Hannah dedicating Samuel, Peter’s broken confession in Luke 5, and Nathanael under the fig tree in John 1. The message remains clear: no boasting in wisdom, might, or riches—our boast is in knowing Yahweh, who delights in lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness. From a full preterist perspective, the Cross finished the work, the victory stands secure, and sons and daughters now live in confident praise.

Full Lyrics

Spoken Intro (Porch Style – gentle steel guitar under)
You know… I remember sittin’ on the porch swing when I was little.
Didn’t understand much about the world…
But I remember the night the Lord called my name.
I was about nine years old…
He woke my heart up.
I could see my sin plain as day…
And I could see His mercy even clearer.
Life hasn’t always been easy…
But I’ve never walked it alone.
(Soft steel guitar swell into Verse 1)

Verse 1
The preacher read from Jeremiah,
Said, “Hear what Yahweh says—
Let not the wise boast in wisdom,
Nor the mighty in their ways.
Let not the rich trust in riches,
They fade like summer corn—
But boast in this, that you know the Lord,
In righteousness adorned.”
He shows lovingkindness on the earth,
Justice faithful and true—
“For in these things I delight,” He said,
“And that’s what I want in you.”

Chorus
So my boast is in the Lord alone,
Not in strength I call my own.
Christ became my righteousness,
My wisdom and my holiness.
The power rests in the Cross He bore,
The finished work forevermore.
Through good days and the hard ones too—
My boast is in the Lord.

Verse 2
Moses ran for forty years,
Thought his chance was gone—
But fire burned in desert sand,
And God said, “I am the One.”
Hannah cried with empty arms,
Then placed her boy in prayer—
“Speak, Lord,” little Samuel said,
And found Him waiting there.
The Lord has a way of choosing hearts
The world would overlook—
Not many wise, not many strong,
That’s what His Word has took.

Chorus
Yes, my boast is in the Lord alone,
Not in wisdom carved in stone.
God chose what the world despised,
To humble all the proud and wise.
So no flesh stands before His throne—
All glory’s His alone.
Through good days and the hard ones too—
My boast is in the Lord.

Verse 3
Peter fished all through the night,
Came back tired and worn—
Jesus said, “Go cast again,”
Though the morning light had dawned.
“At Your word,” he let it down,
And the nets began to break—
He fell and cried, “Lord, go from me,
I’m sinful for mercy’s sake.”
Underneath that fig tree shade,
Nathanael heard Him say,
“Before you came, I saw you there.”
And doubt just slipped away.
“You are the Son of God,” he said,
“The King of Israel.”
“Heavens opened,” Jesus told him,
“And glory you will tell.”

Bridge (Soft, reflective steel guitar emphasis)
Circumcised yet hearts unclean,
Judah, nations wide—
He came to cleanse what law exposed,
And finish what He cried.
Now we don’t fear the adversary,
The victory’s been secured—
We’re saved to glorify His name,
And in His grace assured.

Final Chorus (Lifted, warm harmony)
My boast is in the Lord alone,
Not in might or earthly throne.
He delights in steadfast love,
In justice sent from heaven above.
The Cross declared it—it is done,
The Kingdom stands in God’s own Son.
Through good days and the hard ones too—
My boast is in the Lord.
Yes, every breath He gives me still…
My boast is in the Lord.
