Back to Life
Young And Free Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here in my heart You have found Your place
Replacing fear with Your freedom
You lift me up
You lift me up

When all seems lost in my brokenness
I call Your Name and You answer
Held by Your love
Held by Your love

In the night
Through the struggle, through the trial
You have made my burden light
You have brought me back to life again

Your love it wipes every tear away
You calm the storms that surround me
You carry me
You carry me

Your light breaks through in my darkest hour
Your love is strong in my weakness
You are enough
You are enough

You won't let go
So I will follow
All I am
Yours now and forever
You won't let go
So I will follow
With all I am

In the night
Through the struggle, through the trial
You have made my burden light
You have brought me back to life again

You won't let go
So I will follow
All I am
Yours now and forever
You won't let go
So I will follow
With all I am

You won't let go
So I will follow
All I am
Yours now and forever
You won't let go
So I will follow
With all I am

In the night
Through the struggle, through the trial




You have made my burden light
You have brought me back to life again

 Super surprised to see Christians bashing a music group who is so passionate about God. This is the young and free album which is geared toward the YOUTH. If you watch their "Young and Free; Our Story" video you can see the story behind this album. I find it so refreshing that this music is so different from the other millions of basic Christian songs that are out there. God did not call us to all sound the same. It's about using our unique gifts (no matter how different it sounds) to glorify our amazing God. I'm baffled at how critical we Christians can be. Instead of acting in love, we're just tearing them down. But overall I love this song and the whole album! If this is not your style, go find an old Christian hymn. Remember this is 2013, and I like that hillsong is actually attempting to reach the youth of this day and age. I'm 19 so its so refreshing finding this type of music. it's so amazing that no matter how different our styles are, in the end it all points to Jesus. He made us all different for a reason.

I've been reading all the comments that criticizes this whole idea of the music and the music video. Sure, I totally get where all you Christian folks that are more traditional are coming from... It's not easy to get used to this kind of music in terms of worship. I came from a traditional Christian background - no drums, and no electric guitar. Just choir and piano. The thing is... You can't put Christianity in a box (more so, Jesus). There is a verse in the bible that says, "generation after generation will be in awe of Your works." I forgot where that is from, but to me it basically means that PEOPLE are gonna be constantly changing, but GOD does not. He is the same forever and always. Guys, we cant be critical at everything. Who are we to say that this is not of God. There are definitely more ways to connect with people who are lost instead of just handing out tracts, right? God Bless, to anyone who got my point and are still reading this.

@Toquenitup

You are so dead on...the scriptures say sing a new song to the Lord, not because he gets bored, but because we get bored and just start going through the motions and not really press into the Lord and worship him with full out abandon!

@anthonyeatguitar

***** yep, religion and relationship, two completely different things :) love God and love others!
