No Longer Slaves
By Jonathan David Helser
Lyrics
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone
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
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again into
Your family
Your blood flows through my veins
You split the sea so
I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me so I could stand and sing
I am a child of God
Bible Reference
Romans 8:15
