Evidence (Josh Baldwin song)

Last updated

The song "Evidence" it just really came out of wanting to sing a song, write a song that talked about my history, our history with the Lord. I think especially nowadays with what’s going on with the pandemic and everything that’s happening in the world, it’s so easy to let fear creep in and let our current situation cloud us, forgetting what the Lord has done for us. I know what things look like right now, but what do I know about the Lord? Well I know that He’s always been there for me, He’s always good. Through that He’s teaching me how to actually walk in that, walk in His victory of what He’s done for us.
