"No Longer Slaves"
Identity is important to us. The praise song, "No Longer Slaves," celebrates what it is to be a child of God.
Brian Hesler said when he wrote the bridge to the song, he could picture the children of Israel walking through the parted waters of the Red Sea. God does extraordinary things for His children.
You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears are drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
So I could stand and say
I am a child of God
I John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear." God's love toward us is perfect, and through Jesus, He adopted us back as His children.
From my mother's womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again
Into your family
Your blood flows through my veins
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
"No Longer Slaves" was written together by Jonathan Helser, Joel Case, and Brian Johnson, and is from Bethel Music. It was released in 2015.
The rest of the words to the song are:
You unravel me
With a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance
From my enemies
'Til all my fears are gone
I am surrounded
By the arms of the Father
I am surrounded
By songs of deliverance
We have been liberated
From our bondage
We're the sons and the daughters
Let us sing our freedom
