Songfacts®:

  • Janna Long of Avalon said on the liner notes of Wow #1 Hits of the group's trademark song: "'Testify To Love' is one of those songs an artist hopes to find on every project, but rarely, does. I remember the moment like it was yesterday when I heard the song in a meeting with Avalon back in 1997. We liked it but I don't think any of us had an idea of how it would go on to touch people the way it has. The message of 'Testify' is one every Christian can relate to. Being a witness for Jesus Christ in every part of our lives is a challenge for all and one that requires action on our part. Sometimes that is being very vocal about our faith and other times, it is simply demonstrating Christ in the small, silent ways, day in and day out."
