90s Hit Song Makes a Comeback
Testify to Love Comes Full Circle
All the colors of the rainbow.
That is the first line.
Four words. And somehow, they always held more than they were allowed to say.
Testify to Love was originally recorded in 1997 by Avalon, a contemporary Christian group, and appeared on their album A Maze of Grace. It went on to claim the title of the longest-running #1 song on the Christian music charts of the decade.
For years, those of us who would grow up to claim our place in the LGBTQ community sang Testify to Love with full voices and quiet questions.
We knew every word.
We meant every word.
We just didn't know yet if we were allowed to.
But somewhere underneath the melody, a smaller, harder question lived — one we weren't ready to speak aloud.
Does this love include me?
Now, with Ty Herndon, Michael Passons, and Melissa Greene stepping into a 2026 reimagining of the song, that question finally has the answer it always deserved.
Yes! This love includes you!
Not eventually.
Not conditionally.
Not after you …
