Chorus
I walked out of my grave clothes
And I Came out in a new robe
I was buried there for too long
Now, I come alive in the
One who has conquered it all
Verse 1
He breathed in me
Made these dry bones come alive
He conquered death
And because He did it, I can do it too
Bridge
Jesus my Savior, Savior, Savior
You saved us
Verse 2
Slayed my giants
And crushed my enemy
Clothed the mouth of the lions
And because He did it, I can do it too

LYRICS
I’ve heard rumors
Of a well that won’t run dry
I’ve heard rumors
Of a love that never dies
Is it true, Is it true
I’ve heard whispers
Of an unrelenting grace
I’ve heard whispers
Of a god who knows my name
Is it true? Is it true?
I’ve heard whispers
Of a flame that won’t burn out
I’ve heard whispers
Of a (love) that has no doubt
Chorus
The evidence is everywhere
My confidence is growing
I’ll testify I will prophesy
I’ll start rumors of my own
I’ve seen wonders
The miraculous has come
I’ve seen wonders
The impossible be done
It is true, it’s all true
Everything they’ve said about you
It is true, it’s all true
Everything I’ve read about you
I’ve heard rumors
Of a well that won’t run dry
I’ve heard rumors
Of a love that never dies
Is it true, Is it true
I’ve heard whispers
Of an unrelenting grace
I’ve heard whispers
Of a god who knows my name
Is it true? Is it true?
The evidence is everywhere
My confidence is growing
I’ll testify I will prophesy
I’ll start rumors of my own

In the US, Juneteenth is the day recognizing the news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reaching slaves in Texas. To honor Juneteenth 2021, Apple Music commissioned a specially curated collection of songs – Juneteenth 2021: Freedom Songs. The compilation features original compositions and covers in service of the holiday from Amaarae, Black Thought, Chloe x Halle, D Smoke, H.E.R., Hit-Boy, Honey Dijon, Jean Dawson, Jimmie Allen, Kane Brown, Kirk Franklin, Madison Calley, Maverick City Music, Saba, Sech, Tobe Nwigwe, Tems, Terrace Martin & Brandee Younger, Willie Jones and Zeal & Ardor. In addition, Ghanaian American visual artist Kwadwo Obeng pairs with some of the artists works to create timeless visualizations of their individual Juneteenth messages. The Juneteenth Freedom Songs playlist is available today only on Apple Music. Listen HERE.
“2021 marks an important moment in Black History with Juneteenth finally being recognized as a holiday by cities and states across America. Until now, many people were not taught about the importance of June 19th in public schools and corporations and state governments weren’t giving time off. This is a very big moment in history that the mainstream is embracing and acknowledging the day enslaved Black Africans were set free from physical bondage by the US government —a painful part of American history that can no longer be a side-note,” said Ebro Darden, Apple Music global head of Hip-Hop and R&B. “Our teams at Apple Music are pushing the Black Music Month conversation internationally, working to make sure the world understands that all popular music today was started by Black people. The significance of these recognitions is helping normalize the truth and the trauma done to Black people worldwide by white supremacy and racism.”
Darden adds, “Juneteenth 2021: Freedom Songs is an idea born with the desire to make sure new sounds were available for this important day. Many corporations and state governments are acknowledging Juneteenth now, so our idea was to help lift this day higher and create more awareness. Black artists from many genres and from around the world contributed this moment this year, the same way Black creatives and storytellers over centuries shared their talent, soul, joy and pain to create all the music the world enjoys today.’”
Artists taking part in Juneteenth 2021 Freedom Songs were commissioned by Apple Music to speak to the spirit of this day through the majesty of music. The project spans over 20 artists and a dozen genre perspectives from Hip-hop, Gospel, Metal, Jazz, R & B, Country and more. Within this collection, the listener uncovers the complexity of the Black experience against the backdrop of the historical touchpoint that is Juneteenth. From joy to pain and from hope to rage, Freedom Songs is a sonic journey through covers from the past and new works of today.
A full list of participating artist quotes and info on their songs can be found below.
Additionally, Apple Music will celebrate Black artistry and influence all month long in honor of ‘Black Music Month 2021,’ an exploration of the legacy, artistry, impact, and influence of Black musicians around the globe through Playlists, DJ Mixes, Original Content, Apple Music TV, Radio Programming & More.

ARTIST QUOTES
Kirk Franklin, “We Shall Overcome”
The gospel giant honors the hope that is born from trauma.
“The Black experience in America is just so multilayered,” gospel legend Kirk Franklin tells Apple Music. “The things we celebrate are also things birthed out of tragedy. We are a group of people who have historically always taken lemons and made lemonade. I think [Juneteenth] is more than the acknowledgment of the day because we still have the issues of Reconstruction, we have Jim Crow, we still have segregation. Juneteenth was not this ‘Meet us in the promised land’ moment, because we still had to deal with and address so many other issues. And there is a myriad of systemic issues that people of color continue to have when it comes to the political history of the Americas.”
For Apple Music’s 2021 Juneteenth-inspired Freedom Songs, an exclusive collection of covers and originals, Franklin recorded an exclusive-to-Apple Music cover of gospel turned civil rights protest anthem “We Shall Overcome.” “To be able to take this historic chant that has meant so much to so many people of African descent and to be able to find a tone and a narrative and to be able to reimagine the different verses and reimagine the DNA of the song is humbling,” he says. “I hope that it’s something special for people.”
Maverick City Music, “Breathe”
The Atlanta-hailing contemporary Christian collective reminds us that our breath is sacred.
Like many who had learned the story behind Juneteenth as children, Maverick City’s Jonathan McReynolds was confused. “I had a very basic understanding and assumed at that point that someone could get on their cell phone and just call and tell everybody,” he tells Apple Music. “I remember my first reaction was ‘Why did it take so long?’” While that sort of indignation at the news of the Emancipation Proclamation not reaching some slaves until well over two years after its instatement is hardly uncommon, the faith-driven praise and worship collective is likely well familiar with the biblical directive of “lean not unto thine own understanding.” For their contribution to Apple Music’s Juneteenth-inspired Freedom Songs, a collection of covers and originals, the group delivered “Breathe,” a song McReynolds says he hopes reminds fans to be grateful in each moment. “Chandler [Moore] was praying in the session and talking about how the events that have taken place in America have a lot of us—especially Black men—waiting for the next shoe to drop,” McReynolds says. “As we began writing our way through it, we just realized this connection to all of the breaths that have been snuffed out over the past years because of racism and discrimination. So the first idea was centered around us bracing ourselves for the next issue, the next trending topic, the next killing, the next trial, and how necessary it is for us as believers—and just people in general—to make sure that we don’t miss out on living, praising, and believing because of worry.”
Billboard Music Award winners, Dove Award winners and 12x Stellar Award nominees Maverick City Music embark on their first-ever tour this fall, with eclectic shows that will feature electrifying performances with collective members Dante Bowe, Chandler Moore, Naomi Raine, Joe L. Barnes, Aaron Moses and more. CDC-suggested Covid-related protocols will be observed. Due to popular demand, new arena dates and cities have been added, with select dates set to feature GRAMMY winner Lecrae.
In the two years since releasing their debut EP, Maverick City Vol. 1, the group has already notched multiple Billboard No. 1 albums and singles, earned a pair of Dove Award nominations, racked up more than 300 million streams across platforms, and amassed more than a million subscribers on YouTube.
Maverick City Music was launched in 2018 (founded by Tony Brown and Jonathan Jay), after hosting seventeen songwriting camps which brought together over one hundred Christian artists and songwriters and the result being the creation of over one hundred songs. Maverick City Music released their first extended play, Maverick City, Vol. 1, on July 29, 2019. The EP debuted on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums Chart at number ten. In 2020, Maverick City Music released their debut album, Maverick City Vol. 3 Part 1 – the album debuted at number six on Top Christian Albums and number two on Top Gospel Albums Chart. This year, the album, Old Church Basement, a collaboration between Maverick City Music and Elevation Worship has quickly made an impact on the charts, earning top honors across multiple Billboard Charts.
