Amen, before God called me in 2012 I was a womanizer, a binge drinker, a pack a day smoker, and all-day-everyday pot smoker, but the Son set me free, and made me a new creation!
GLORY TO GOD!

I want to testify that the past few weeks I specifically have been crying out to God "WHY DON'T I FEEL FREE even though according to Your Word I, as a new born, free." And another thing, I've been very bitter about the fact that I have scoliosis and can't run like I used to. So tonight happened to be one of those nights of bitter tears and I decided to listen to worship music to chase away the darkness. When I saw the title of this song and instantly tapped into the video. The moment you used the scoliosis metaphor the words of this song began to penetrate my heart, each phrase is what my soul needed to hear. Even the part where you say "for 19 years I was trapped in prison" (19 is when I gave my life to God too). It hit me so hard and close to home, I am indeed free. Thank you. God is working through your music Josh!
You never know who is looking ,watching your ..Life in Christ Colossians 2:6-14.
Walking is more than feet moving on pavment. Live it out in Christ alone. One min. one day, one year at a time. ENDURANCE, all the way to the finish line!
I am stopping and interceding on YOUR behalf before OUR Father. For Strength, doul and mental health and a Miricle in you body.
For true ,deep Relationship and Prosparity,... FREEDOM, and the JOY of the LORD!
In the priceless, Mighty name of JESUS!
So let it be done.
Thanks for sharing that Sasha, brother. :)
(I too have similar struggles)
We can walk in freedom no matter what our circumstances are. Keep standing in faith for that healing too though! God wants to give it to more than you want it!
wow sasha, Praise the Lord. I'm so glad you shared that. Brings tears to my eyes reading it. Bless you.
by his stripes we are healed
12 years later, this performance is still golden.
We all search. Until the day when he finds you. And in that moment, you realize why you're here. To serve him. And it all becomes clear. You are exactly where he needs you to be. Thanks Josh.
Amen, brother, amen! 🙋
All praises, glory & thanksgivings to Papa Yahweh/God! 🙌💜👑💜✨💜😘
Well said.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ amen brother
💥
God bless you
Josh Garrels is in my opinion the greatest musician and vocalist of this generation. So deep, groovy, melodic, and simply awesome. Love him and his music!
Agree!!!!! Just discovered his music: so unique and such a blessing.
What songs are you favorites? Pls
💙🙏🏽
@@veeherreraJanecka some of my favorites are Farther Along, Beyond the Blue, Pilot Me, Bread and Wine, Million Miles.....so many of the songs on the album Love and War and the Sea In Between!
Good Lord!! What a performance. You're a Christian rapper! Bravo!! Thank GOD for Freedom (and UA-cam)!
Any listeners in 2019? ❤️
Crazy thought. Hear me out...what are the chances of a Kanye West collaboration with Garrels?
I JUST DISCOVERED JOSH.
Absolutely!! Still lovin Josh Garrels and thought of this song today and wanted to hear it again. One of my favorites still!!
2020
2020 now!
Wow, Josh! I am an almost 50 year old believer and am simply blown away with your gift and your desire to pay it back to the One who gave it to you!! He is well pleased! Stay strong in Christ!
Rahhh!!! This guy. One of my favourite musician ever. His voice, his lyrics, his love for God and Creativity. I wanna meet him one day.
He stayed at my house for a week when he visited my small town of Mariposa. Him and his wife were great. We all had long, deep talks. Amazing guy
I don't believe in god either guys but this man sings with a passion that doesn't exist in music anymore. God or no god, this man is a talent that we are lucky to have on this planet.
What a voice and emotion! I imagined God smiling at him and tapping His foot with the beat.
Aren't cha so glad we get to hear him sing in Heaven when we all get there!
Yess.
Yeah and there we all have time to learn to sing! And I think it'll be beautiful...
The delusions of human imagination are indeed endless...
Oh sweet Lord, is that what I trusted in? That sin won't win.
Jesus...light...set my brother free...he was lost...now hes found....
After a childhood of abuse,and the undertow of the enemy leading me through decades of prison, sexual sin, and all forms of sin, years of homelessness and drug abuse, near death overdoses, I finally did die when I met the King of Kings and now I have been born into this royal priesthood unworthy of the calling upon my life God chose to empower me with His Holy Spirit , the flesh consuming flame that has set me on His path and this freedom. This beautiful freedom and love has set me free from sin and death. And so I praise God continually and thank Him for it all.
One of the best songs he played on his stop at the House of Blues in Chicago last Saturday! This song just gets down so deep in my soul I can't stop my foot from taping and my head bopping to the tempo.
Garrels is truly one of the most underrated artist of our generation!
+DaneStolthed Not for long though!!
Me too! I just found my new favorite in 2017
I totally agree! I was there at the House of Blues in Chicago that night. This song still gives me chills listening to it, Josh is an incredible artist.
"underated" = too good , too real for the main stream
Dear Heart, ♥️ My scoliosis was so severe in 1997 that I had major surgery. My spine was leaning on my major organs. Then 2 1/2 years ago, I underwent neck surgery. A month ago, I had shoulder surgery. And my Precious doctor is looking into how scoliosis affects the whole body.
I am now 78, and I can attest through all of this, I KEEP MY EYES ON JESUS. He has never let me down, no never!!!
Keep looking unto Our Jesus, The LOVER of Our Souls. He is watching over you! Hallelujah!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Just been introduced to this artist. Very impressed !
Wish there are a lot more people standing for the truth in this world. May God cover you with the blood of Jesus as your bravely share your talent.
A friend dedicated this to my wife she has scoliosis , and now she listens to your stuff all the time , God bless you
GO JOSH! josh is an old friend of mine i met at my old church.
Pray for me brothers and sisters I struggle so deeply with depression and hopelessness and uncertainty and discernment. I want freedom, I want Jesus, I want sanctification.
One of those songs you'll never forget about. May not listen to it every single day but it will always be there.
Man, this is so relaxing and original. Glory to God!
This person has a fitting name as it means "God will save". Every song I've heard from him so far restores my soul. He and I pray it'll heal many souls, saving them from Sheol. His music is different in that I can sense God's love in it. Hallelujah. Beautiful song here. Glory be to Jesus the lover of mankind's soul.
Spirituality is mental jewelry I adorn my self with.
May the God of the universe speak to you through Joshs' music...he is an amazing musician and speaks the truth...God bless you, brother...Romans 10:9-10
Haha, my 6 year old son does!!!! We LOVE this dude's music.... Nobody more than my youngest kid. It was a big day for him when we all met in SC one day ... Hey Josh! Sorry ya'll ...... Nobody loves Josh's music more than we do
2023 now isn’t this just awesome!
Oh dear, I run the video and sound at our woman's dinner once a month. Tonight someone requested a song by a guy named Josh Garrels and I am now ashamed to say I haven't heard of him. I think I just found my new artist to devour.
"to devour"???
Hey Josh I just want to say you inspire me I’m only 13 but I love your music and this is my moms phone love you
Praise the lord. He is the greatest of them all. The spirit will shine even in the dark. We will see.. we will feel this in our hearts. Cant be denied. We are free. No matter where we are we are free. God bless all
Full lyrics:
Professional or beginner doesnt matter
Every sinner is a prisoner in a body that is subject to time
Now my entwined mind tries to form a straight line
Not like twised scoliosis of the spinal chord
Construct
Cross eyed carpenters are cuttin' crooked lines
Can't construct
Man-made shrines when the winds and the water move sands of time
Many minds on a deadline, yet live life like a live wire
I'm not tired!
Of blood and fire
Spirit's moving higher than the green grass ever lifted me
Spirit's moving higher...
Than anything else ever lifted you
Mm, see
We got spirituality
It's living in us like one in three
Injustice is concerning me
In the non-linear eternity
I'm speaking paradoxically
But you can nod your head now when you understand me-e-e-ee...
This is for my free men
Whose backs wont bend in the lions den
Now with their eyes on the ending
This is for my free women!
They fight with thier love
The bearers of our children
Free men whose backs wont bend in the lions den
Now with their eyes on the ending
This is for my free women
They fight with thier love
The bearers of our children
We shine like lights exposing
What lies underneath decomposing
Unearth those chains that are rusted
My sweet Lord, is that what i trusted in?
That sin? That tomfoolery? Ugh!
What it is is mental jewelery that I adorned myself with
The enemy's gifts, the man-made myths, the ignorant bliss
Of marijuana spliffs and alchoholic fifths
I got so sick and tired of it
Delivered and redeemed
By christ i mean
It's time to start livin'
And get a reason for the rhyme
I dont wanna be dead-wrong on the deadline
Standing on the dark side and all out of time...
Like a blind pantomime's fantasize
Climb up his own ladder to the sunshine
Nothin's mine
That hasn't been given
No one's alive here
That hasn't been risen
For 19 years i was trapped in a prison
Feeding my escape by means of derision
But every man-made attempt just failed
When trapped in a jail
Of my own guilt, shame, and iniquity
I was looking for freedom
How'd I find freedom?
Oh! Oh, freedom...
From all of this
He said believe
He said believe
Who are you telling me to belei-e-eve... yea
'Said I'm the Christ
Oh!
...he said I'm the Christ
So I believed.
Freedom!
THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
True freedom❤
things are finally turning around, it's been a huge battle , but worth the struggle because I discovered value in the fight. Every time I made a decision to do the harder choice, things worked out. Thank you Lord for finding me worthy of another chance to get it right. I would have never saw the value in myself. And thank you all who have commented and tried to lift me up, your much appreciated.
I heard Josh garrels a few years ago i was a drug addict back then now after 9 years of abuse I'm now in recovery and doing my twelve steps program and back in touch with this guys music 💜💜🙏🙏
Even modern indie music can't touch on Josh Garrels' voice, rhythm, and lyricism.
This song has the ability to start you off right every morning. This one, and farther along. They're my favorites!
Same here brother. FREEDOM!!🙂
Really like Farther Along
Born again is my favorite 🙏
Egan loves this song and Canadians in America.
I am sharing this with everyone I know!
Who’s still listening to this song in 2017-2018
I am :)
Count me in
Praise God 🙏🤙💜
RanItUp 2019 too
It's Feb 2019 and my 1st time hearing him! Loving this!
One of his most beautiful songs, second probably only to White Owl. His songs have pulled me out from the most painful places in my own life to give my life wings again, to pull up from a very deep and dark depression, and step back upon again a solid soil, and then take that second, and third step and so forth. I give him thanks, for this, which likely allowed me to move forward. At least for one more day, and sometimes that is all that is important.
nlce to know I am not alone regarding his positive influence also in difficult times in my own life. white owl is my favourite too
Literally the first line of this song exposes everyone as a sinner. The world is not black and white.
First time hearing him. Where have he been! Its so refreshing. Listen to christian music and is is getting so good and come so far. Im loving this!
2021 still listening to "freedom" good as the first time my ears listened to it in...
Anyone here in 2020? this song still hits.
Josh, your music has gotten me through some hard times in my life, thank you very, very much. God has truly blessed you, thank you for being a vessel for His love and power.
Dude.....what God did in you!
What God plays thru you!
So blessed you co-operated!
great voice ,song,tune it all glorified our lord Jesus cool ----Scott
This is my first time listening to such kind of style. I love thisss.
First heard Josh's music as an intro to a Calvary Chapel's radio program probably 3 years ago and found out his name through a Google search. Thrilled that I found this powerfully talented Christian artist. Brought back fond memories of the type of CCM that my hubby and I listened to in the 70's. I now listen to any genre of music via the Internet, iPhone, or streaming (Pandora) vs 8-tracks, Cassettes on boom boxes or Walkmans, Vinyl Record (Evie, Honeytree, Don Francisco, Keith Green, etc. etc. etc.). The medium may differ, but the essence is the same...all glory goes to our amazingly awesome, mighty God!
Who’s still here in 2021?🙌🏼
We love Josh! Thanks to my friend and coworker who introduced me to this song! Now I listen to Josh all the time and find such happiness in his music and so does my family! Love and blessings to Josh and his family and you all! Be well!
Cometh the day
Cometh the warrior 🔥
14 years already... Wow 🙏🏽
Excellent...I close my eyes, listen to the words, then The beat and then the words...love it!!! You're alright Josh! Hope I got it right. Listen to this over and over ....love,love,love....great job!!! Be proud!!!!!
AWESOME SOUND BROTHER. PRAISE THE LORD. 12/27/19. I JUST DISCOVERED JOSH !!! FROM A 70+ YR. OLD JESUS FREAK SINCE '75.
just discovered this & he has blown my mind. this song gives my mind & soul "freedom".
No matter how many times I listen to this song, it remains totally fresh. I'm so amazed at the emotion this young man puts into this song. He's got serious soul! He's a cross of Jack Johnson and Tracy Chapman. I also really like the precessional element he adds to his guitar, very unique rhythm.
Freedom!!!!! Free will, thank you heavenly Father
NEVER gets old !
The Three fold spirit flows through this soul beautifully! Thank you for those who can speak words of truth. There is a reason why the poets are usually silenced. Powerful.
Garrels is a modern day poet. I got to see him a few months ago in Asheville and he was amazing.
Our Father has definitely blessed Josh with amazing talent! Jam'n with his soul! Pure heart and soul for the Lord right there!
I recognize that fresh joy of finding the shelter of the creator, watching it manifest in his countenance revives it in me, and I fall in love with my Savior all over again.
I don't wanna be dead wrong on the deadline. A Christian Bob Dylan, precious brother who helps us along the sanctification process. Thanks and LOOK UP OUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH!
This is absolutely amazing 🌹❤️💪
Josh not only a passion of music but a wonderful inspiring passion for God:)
Rise King of Judah. The Lord has laid them at our feet. We must step into our place and take our kingdom. Oh, praise God.
I love this Brothers soul and flow and pray he still glowing in the Holy Spirit!
This guy is amazing!! Such talent like our greatest secular musicians, but a love for Jesus!
So unique in a beautiful way. It is rare to hear something different. Most songs take a similar straightforward approach. This is refreshing.
2022-still the jam!
Damn! Real music from a real musician. I was beginning to think they were both extinct.
ARE YOU KIIIIIDDDDDDING MEEEEEE? WHERE HAS THIS GUY BEEN!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Jam on Josh. Strum and hum. Tell the truth. You tell it so well....
This guy is awsome!!! Just found this during quarantine and it's a blessing
2020 and this is when I am just discoveringHim
Me too
ME TOO! He's now my favorite. Holy Spirit has moved through this music at one of the hardest times in my life ever
2021, apparently like my whole church knows him since he is from Indiana but im just now on the bandwagon!
,🥀♥️🙏 my aunt ....thank you2020 time to get your songs back up there ya think smile
I grew up with josh...Great guy
Just discovering this artist. Came up on a Milk Carton Kids pandora station. Amazing.
How can someone don't like this?? great performance.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Seek out the scripture and immerse yourself in the Word that bears witness to the righteousness of God through the blood and resurrection of Christ Jesus.
Cry out to Him and He will answer. Repent (that is forsake all evil and vanity) and believe God is true in His testimony concerning His son.
Be prepared for a fiery trial to test you as you come into salvation, for the tested genuineness of your faith is worth far more than all the riches of the world!
“Be holy, as he is holy”
2019 anyone? Still loving this song!
2020 this man is good love the songs he sings.❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
It doesn't matter if you understand the messenger. The message is clear. God bless. You're here...
Exactly. True, real Christianity, of an intimate relationship between God and yourself, seriously, can only be good to the Earth, and the people in it. God bless.
So real and truth stands tall above the rest. He gets the lords word and sends it out
Thank you . Brother Josh these day I cry...
What amazing music about amazing grace. So unique and just love it !!!!!
Still till this day in listening. Praise God... love the music
Josh, you are a talented guy. Thanks for using your gifts to glorify Jesus!
I love love love Josh's lyrics! I listen to Decision and Farther Along every morning!
Ahayah Bahashem Yashiya forever...
What a gifted young brother. Wisdom and talent!!!
This is such a better song than anything thats in the charts
This is amazing piece of music... Thank you Lord for finding this...
help is what I need, hope dropped in like a seed from this man, nothing else pulls me through the darkness like a good Josh garrels song. I'm not worth saving Lord. I am ready to go and I wish my faith hadn't been chiseled away by my own hands for so long. I have the ability to love other's and completely detest myself. why? the only songs that give me a glimmer of hope that I lost so long ago come from you. I pray it's not too late for me lord.
Fight, brother. Take arms and return to the light. His arms will be more open that you can imagine; "God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance" (Romans 2:4).
+Barbara Svatek things are looking up, changing ever so slowly, but I keep on fighting the fight. I was in a very dark place when I posted that and some really awesome people have come by my side, truly a gift from God
Derek Blackford
"[B]ut I keep on fighting the fight."
Never lay down your arms. Keep going brother.
Derek you are worth saving, that thought comes from Satan, you are worth saving, if you have repented and have a heart that has Christ inside, your sin is forgiven,
@Barbara Svatek
I know I'm replying to an older post but Your words have really touched my heart and helped me today. The love of Christ shines beautifully through you. Your honesty is beautiful Sister.
And Derek your in my heart and prayers. Glory Be To The Lamb Of God!!! Our redemption draws near. Praise the Lord!!
ahhh thank you for that jam out session. found myself humming and singing freedom. feelings from deep inside let out. real music felt here
Josh Garrels is by far one of my favorite worshippers and artists to date. The music artistry and creativity is truly God sent and unique.
Josh you make my everyday so much better..Thank you!
It’s 2019, and still listening to this 2007 video! 🙃🙏🏽💕
2019 anyone?!
