The One who made the heavens made my heart and soul
Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known
I am His creation, the Maker's masterpiece
And all that He designs will be done in me
My body is a temple of the Living God
I'll worship in this house that His blood has bought
As I bear His image, oh may I not profane
The holiness I hold in this earthly frame
CHORUS
I belong to the Lord, oh I am not my own
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own
I will honor Him for this I know
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own
And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own
The measure of my worth is His love alone
He declares my standing, and He declares my state
So I will know myself by the name He gave
REPEAT CHORUS
I am not my own and now my heart is free
O Maker come and make what You will of me
There is nothing broken that You cannot repair
So Lord, I leave my life in Your loving care
REPEAT CHORUS
I will honor Him for this I know
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own

Keith & Kristyn Getty, with Skye Peterson, sing 'I Am Not My Own,' a song about belonging completely to God. The lyrics affirm that believers are created by God, redeemed by Christ, and called to honor Him with their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. The song emphasizes that true freedom comes from surrendering ownership of one's life to the Lord. It touches on themes of identity, worth found in God's love, and trust in His ability to heal and restore. The repeated chorus declares, 'I belong to the Lord, I am not my own,' reinforcing a message of wholehearted devotion.
