Testimony - Josh Young

in a moment of truth, i can see what i am

like a mist on the bay, that is here and is gone

or a dream that awakes, with the coming of dawn

so am i

but i can feel something more

stirring deep in my soul

a burning for things i’ve neglected so long

a yearning to sing the rest of the unfinished song

of my life

and the man that i was

i’ll cast him on the fury of the sea

let the wind and the waves

wash away the fool i use to be

then i won’t be ashamed to stand and

proclaim i am free

i am free

and i know in my soul

it was not in me to judge

but god in his mercy has called me by name

and he lifted me out of the pit of my shame

and ordained

i should live

and the man that i was

i cast upon the fury of the sea

let the wind and the waves

wash away the fool i use to be

and i won’t be ashamed to stand

and proclaim i am free

i am free

and i never can repay

what the lord forgave this day

he came for me

came to set me free
