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!

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! 🙌💜👑💜✨💜😘

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ amen brother

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
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!
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!
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.
Just been introduced to this artist. Very impressed !
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
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.
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!
GO JOSH! josh is an old friend of mine i met at my old church.
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!!! ♥️♥️♥️
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
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.
This is my first time listening to such kind of style. I love thisss.
Spirituality is mental jewelry I adorn my self with.
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.
WOW!!!!
Speak it, YOU are an amazing asset to mankind and a true warrior of Christ Jesus!!!
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
Man, this is so relaxing and original. Glory to God!
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 🙏
Freedom!!!!! Free will, thank you heavenly Father
One of those songs you'll never forget about. May not listen to it every single day but it will always be there.
By far, the absolute BEST message, delivered in song, by such an amazing Man, sent by God to impact my soul in a way that has never been done prior.......
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.
Jesus...light...set my brother free...he was lost...now hes found....
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
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.
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"???
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❤
Egan loves this song and Canadians in America.
2021 still listening to "freedom" good as the first time my ears listened to it in...
Even modern indie music can't touch on Josh Garrels' voice, rhythm, and lyricism.
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
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
This is absolutely amazing 🌹❤️💪
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!
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.
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.

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
A friend dedicated this to my wife she has scoliosis , and now she listens to your stuff all the time , God bless you
Good Lord!! What a performance. You're a Christian rapper! Bravo!! Thank GOD for Freedom (and CZcams)!
just discovered this & he has blown my mind. this song gives my mind & soul "freedom".
Just discovering this artist. Came up on a Milk Carton Kids pandora station. Amazing.
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”
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.
What amazing music about amazing grace. So unique and just love it !!!!!
2020 this man is good love the songs he sings.❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

So unique in a beautiful way. It is rare to hear something different. Most songs take a similar straightforward approach. This is refreshing.
NEVER gets old !
I love love love Josh's lyrics! I listen to Decision and Farther Along every morning!
Ahayah Bahashem Yashiya forever...
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!

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!
Garrels is a modern day poet. I got to see him a few months ago in Asheville and he was amazing.
great voice ,song,tune it all glorified our lord Jesus cool ----Scott
Talk about a refreshing cup of water , WOW
Wow! Good music - good message right here! ⭐️
What a gifted young brother. Wisdom and talent!!!
Literally the first line of this song exposes everyone as a sinner. The world is not black and white.
It’s 2019, and still listening to this 2007 video! 🙃🙏🏽💕
Josh not only a passion of music but a wonderful inspiring passion for God:)
He is beautiful! I love how he is totally into it. This man have music running through his veins when he plays
Thank you . Brother Josh these day I cry...
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.
This speaks so clear so loudly to me. What a talented blessed artist. God bless.
Love this Guy Josh garells your the best stay blessed brother
Just discovered this musician a few days ago..He is AWESOME! ANNOINTED!
This guy is amazing!! Such talent like our greatest secular musicians, but a love for Jesus!
ARE YOU KIIIIIDDDDDDING MEEEEEE? WHERE HAS THIS GUY BEEN!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Hallelujah! 'So I believed'.... so true. Great message! Keep up the good work. ... God bless you.
So real and truth stands tall above the rest. He gets the lords word and sends it out
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!
This guy is awsome!!! Just found this during quarantine and it's a blessing
Still till this day in listening. Praise God... love the music
I grew up with josh...Great guy
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.
Let all that have breath praise the Lord
Love this Christian Artist
By the word and command, mortal man can stand, son of man is the manna manifest
In the flesh and the blood, and the bones and the rocks, in the valley of the dead
The dry bones are gonna walk and talk
To the rhythm of the saints y’all, to the rhythm of the saints
And I paint it red to remember the dead, who layed down their lives for the truth
And the seed that is buried takes root, and this ignorant world will have proof
I remember the sins of my youth, the path and the madness of unrestrained pleasure
The heavier trip it made the heavier debter
In the deepest of dark without a wing or a feather,
The spiral closed in like a cage, like a cage
A maze that’s amazing for days turns to rage if the page it refuses to turn
And the hopeless will hope the book burns
When the lesson it returns, but the lesson is still unlearned
See I yearn to discern if a life can be earned or is given as a gift to the dead
I read and I bled and I fed to the full my soul on the sickest of sickness
Seeking the light of a saviors witness, a way that one day that I might forget this
But slave master wont permit this
Cause I’m a hooker I’m his mistress
And when I look for freedom he puts more chains on me
Strangles my hope so that I live like a zombie
What masters house can this be, that when I look for freedom he still deceives me
If there’s a God I screamed, “Answer me!”
I didn’t expect an answer to be received, He said
You must die, to be set free, living in the kingdom of God eternally
Open up my eyes so that I can see, and die with a cry revolutionary
Every man and woman is a witness, and we will never forget this
Truth
Undiluted, undisputed, never to be substituted, or uprooted, fully suited for the war
It’s a modernization of a timeless metaphor, and
By the boomerang we bring the beats back more
What for man, do we work exterior to core, or begin it in the spirit of the Lord
Now you could pull the chord, but the people still sing it acapella
Marching to the beat I hear their feet are in the cellar
Fear not the world cannot stop what must begin within you and me
A fire wind, holy hymn, beautiful diadem, hidden within positively pure prism refraction
Every colors broken down, harmonize with my eyes spectrum
In the end bleeding into the One, to the source, to the beautiful father of light
All the pressure and pain, produces perseverance
It’s purged by the flames, without interference
Produces a hope, In the glory of God
My God I am your son, and I know that you will finish the work that you’ve begun
Homespun, grassroots, spontaneously suits the purpose, and we don’t deserve this
Life
He said
You must die to be set free, living in the kingdom of God eternally
Open up my eyes so that I can see, and die with a cry revolutionary
Every man and woman is a witness, and we will never forget this
Truth
very in tuned for this generation... Love you
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.
Pure gold like all his songs !!!!!!
the song ROCKS!!!!
All i can say is WOW.
BEST AND MOST POWERFUL SONG HE HAS
