[00:19.73]say that I have no regrets
[00:21.41]nope, not a single one

[00:39.83]I’m simply sharin’ all
[00:41.13]that I’ve been through
[00:41.94]you know I don’t like
[00:42.70]to call you a fan
[00:43.50]this can bring a
[00:44.24]grown man to tears
[00:45.18]I mean the fact that
[00:45.86]some of ya’ll have been
[00:46.97]riding with me for
[00:48.04]more than 10 years
[00:48.72]I know one thing for sure
[00:49.52]and two things for certain
[00:51.77]everything went up in flames
[00:52.70]I came out the fire
[00:53.64]and I am not the same person
[00:55.13]now I realize
[00:56.19]that life is just paying back
[00:57.93]time that’s borrowed
[00:58.74]see the fact is
[00:59.67]we can all be here today
[01:01.29]gone tomorrow
[01:02.34]everything’s a test
[01:03.40]will I pass?
[01:04.14]the Answer is divine
[01:04.89]how can I express
[01:05.83]the way I feel?
[01:06.70]the first word to come
[01:07.76]to my mind

[01:39.11]one final second left
[01:40.92]what shall I say with
[01:42.84]my very last breath?
[01:44.33]forget MC Jin
[01:46.08]you should get to know me
[01:47.70]my name is Jin Au-Yeung
[01:49.43]here’s my testimony
[01:50.93]I didn’t grow up in the church
[01:52.75]but God planted a seed
[01:54.48]when my Aunt Cathy asked me
[01:56.16]in Jesus did I believe
[01:57.46]with no hesitation
[01:58.21]or reservation
[01:58.96]I replied
[01:59.71]yes I did
[02:00.64]truth be told
[02:01.26]I was eight years old
[02:02.26]what did I know?
[02:02.95]I was just a kid
[02:04.12]years go by
[02:04.74]my life story
[02:05.80]I acted as my own author
[02:06.92]just chasin’ my dreams
[02:08.35]along with all the things
[02:09.72]the world could offer
[02:11.02]I can’t even lie
[02:12.14]all the times
[02:13.64]that I would pray
[02:14.57]it was shallow
[02:15.57]and only when I wanted
[02:16.24]something to go my way
[02:18.06]the unconditional love
[02:18.87]that He has shown
[02:19.68]it leaves me on my face
[02:21.22]he’s been so patient, so kind
[02:22.48]shown me so much grace
[02:24.53]teach me
[02:25.14]how to serve You
[02:25.90]Lord
[02:26.52]I’Il follow for the
[02:27.14]rest of my days
[02:28.07]sing with all
[02:28.82]my soul, my heart,
[02:29.69]my strength
[02:30.38]I give you all of this praise
[02:31.92]Hallelujah x4
[02:44.92]Thank you, Lord
[02:45.68]Hallelujah x2
[02:48.91]I said thank you, Lord
[02:52.82]Hallelujah x3
[03:04.69]I can still remember
[03:06.33]sittin’ on that subway
[03:08.38]leavin’ the Ruff Ryders’ office
[03:10.99]lookin’ at that check
[03:12.67]thinkin’ to myself,
[03:15.29]wow, this is actually happenin’
[03:17.66]I’ve finally…
[03:18.90]I’ve arrived; I’m here
[03:21.01]and everything that happened
[03:22.19]after that was like a blur
[03:23.94]just...
[03:25.55]it was so much fun
[03:29.53]it was so much pain
[03:31.65]and then ultimately...
[03:33.32]just when I thought it was
[03:34.26]comin’ to a end
[03:35.75]my career was comin’ to a end
[03:37.68]my journey was comin’ to a end
[03:40.29]God, you picked me up and
[03:42.16]You lifted me up and showed me
[03:44.21]that what I thought was the end
[03:47.26]was really just the beginnin’
[03:49.87]so all I ask Lord is that
[03:53.11]from here on out
[03:57.72]that You be the center
[04:00.39]for anybody that listens to this
[04:03.31]they don’t just hear
[04:04.37]they don’t hear songs
[04:06.24]in XIV:LIX
[04:07.36]it’s not just a album
[04:09.47]It’s my life
[04:14.22]Amen
