Story Behind The Song
This song “No Longer Slaves” is a theme of freedom from fear. Over and over again, the compelling lyrics remind us of this truth, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18) It’s mind-blowing to think that we can be free in a physical sense, yet in bondage to fear. The theme of the song echoes Galatians 5:1, which says “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” – Jonathan and Melissa Helser
No Longer Slaves
Verse 1
You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone
Chorus
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
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
Bridge
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
