Hillsong Young & Free (a menudo abreviado como Y&F) es el ministerio de adoración juvenil de Hillsong Church, una comunidad cristiana global que tiene su sede en Sídney, Australia. El grupo fue fundado en 2012 con el objetivo de conectar con una audiencia joven a través de una mezcla de música contemporánea y letras centradas en la fe.
Bajo la dirección y supervisión de personas clave en la iglesia, entre ellos Laura Toggs, hija de los fundadores de Hillsong, Brian y Bobbie Houston, Young & Free se propuso capturar el espíritu y la energía de una nueva generación que busca autenticidad y profundidad espiritual.
En 2013, el grupo lanzó su primer álbum, "We Are Young & Free", que rápidamente captó la atención tanto de la comunidad cristiana como del público en general. Canciones como "Alive" y "Wake" se convirtieron en himnos en iglesias alrededor del mundo y mostraron la habilidad del grupo para incluir elementos de la electrónica y el pop en su música de adoración.
El éxito rotundo de este álbum les permitió realizar giras no solo en Australia, sino también en América del Norte y otras partes del mundo. La energía mostrada en esas presentaciones en vivo consolidó su reputación de ser una banda vibrante y apasionada.
This is living
Waking up knowing there's a reason
All my dreams come alive
Life is for living with you
I've made my decision
You lift me up
Fill my eyes with wonder
Forever young in your love
This freedom's untainted with you
No moment is wasted
See the sun now
Bursting through the clouds
Black and white
Turn to colour all around
All is new
In the Savior I am found
This is living now
This is living now
You lead the way God
You're right beside me
In Your love I'm complete
There's nothing like living with you
This life you created I choose
See the sun now
Bursting through the clouds
Black and white
Turn to colour all around
All is new
In the Savior I am found
This is living now
This is living now
You take me higher
Than I've been before
It's your perfect love that sees me soar
God your freedom is an open door
You are everything
I want and more
Maybe I ain't really know what living is
Is it love if it was am I living it?
Do I live in it? So astounding
Love is an ocean you can drown me
The sweet embrace the lovely taste I taste and see I'm under Grace
The place to be it means I don't ever need an umbrella
I'm cool in the cold and the hot weather
Whether or never I ever understand
I'm a man in the hands of great plans
I stand with faith in a life I never known or touched
It's still outside my clutch but
I'm like what's to dream of? And what's to hope in?
What's to die for? And live to no end?
This is living!
The life I've been given's a gift
If I’m gonna live it, I’m gonna live it to death!
So what's to dream of? And what's to hope in?
What's to die for? And live to no end?
This is living!
The life I've been given's a gift
If I’m gonna live it, I’m gonna live it to death! (This is living now)
This is living now
You take me higher
Than I've been before
It's your perfect love that sees me soar
God your freedom is an open door
You are everything
I want and more
