Chorus / Description :
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
NO LONGER SLAVES
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
For I am a child of God
(Let's raise that loud, say)
I'm no longer a slave to fear (Yeah)
(For I am) For I am a child of God

You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song (shout it out, sing)
Of deliverance
From my enemies
Till all my fears are gone

I'm no longer a slave to fear (I'm no longer)

Your love has called my name (yeah)
And I've been born again
Into your family
Your blood flows through
(Let's do that one more time, say from my mother's womb)
From my mothers womb
You have chosen me
(Your love) Your love has called my name
And I've been born again (I've been born again)
To my family (Your blood)

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 sing
(Sing it)
I am a child of God
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 sing
I am a child of God
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 sing
(Somebody shout it)
I am a child of God
(Yes I am)

(Somebody raise their hands say it)

A child of God
(show your praise in this room)
(Show your praise)
I am a child of God
I am a child of God
I am (I know who I am, I know who I am, I know who I am)
I am a child of God
If you know who you are
Just lift your voices in this room
And scream a praise to Jesus
Oh somebody scream and praise to Jesus
I know who I am...
He calls me the head and not the tail
He calls me above and not beneath
He calls me a lender and not a borrower
I know who I am
And so because of that I don't have to walk in fear
I walk in faith
If you're walking in faith shout Hallelujah to Jesus
So I grew up in a Pentecostal, holiness church
Oh there's some more of us in here
And we used to have the hand clapping, foot stomping songs
That just made you real, real, real, real happy
And it made you feel good
So we have one of those songs
It's called The river of the Lord
Anybody remember that moment when you received Jesus
As your personal saviour?
And the blood of Jesus washed all of your sins away
And you got up feeling brand new
Well we gonna go back to that moment
And we gonna thank Jesus for his blood
That saves us, every single day

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known unto you.
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, `even' from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,
So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
