It’s a few hours before dawn where I am and I just can’t go back to sleep. I kind of have this thing of waking up at night and for some reason i can’t put my self to sleep again…at least not till it’s a little over 2-3 hours. So as I wait “for sleep” I usually read my Bible on the phone, check my social media, or read one of those books my friends have sent me online (PDF versions). All this as I listen to my music in the background. Tonight i am listening to a new favourite. It has been around (on my playlist) for awhile but it’s really recent that I began to really listen to it and let the words sink in. No longer slaves by Bethel Music is one song that speakers directly to me and all my fears. I’m not a musical genius or whatever but I think before any syllable of that song was written, the composers and Holy Spirit behind this song intended it for a person just like me. I literally speak those words over me! “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.” And on that note here are the lyrics, go download it and listen to it if you haven’t done so yet. You’ll love it, I promise.
[Verse 1: Jonathan David]
You unravel me, with a melod
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance, from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone
[Chorus: Jonathan David]
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
[Verse 2: Jonathan David]
From my mothers womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I’ve been born again, into a family
Your blood flows through my veins
[Chorus: Jonathan David]
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
[Interlude: Jonathan David]
I am surrounded
By the arms of the father
I am surrounded
By songs of deliverance
We’ve been liberated
From our bondage
We’re the sons and the daughters
Let us sing our freedom
[Bridge: Jonathan David & Melissa Helser]
You split the sea So I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am the child of God
You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
You drowned my fears in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am the child of God (yes I am)
I am a Child of GodI am a Child of God (yes I am)
I am a Child of God (full of faith yes)
I am a Child of GodI am a Child of God
[Chorus: Jonathan David]
I’m no longer a slave to fearI am a child of GodI’m no longer a slave to fearI am a child of God
Life as i know it....
