Nichole Nordeman's song 'No Longer' is a stirring anthem about trading fear and hesitation for bold faith. The lyrics use biblical imagery like the Red Sea and Jericho to symbolize personal battles, while the chorus expresses a desire to let go of safety nets and embrace risk for the sake of love. The song culminates in a declaration of freedom from fear, shame, and slavery, affirming strength found in surrender. It encourages listeners to step out in faith, trusting that true strength comes not from playing it safe but from wholehearted devotion.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
This my red sea
And my Jericho
This is my Philistine
And my five stones
But talk is cheap
So is bargaining
So, here I go
I don't want to live
Like I'm half alive
I don't want to walk
Where the road is wide
All this fear that I've
Been tryin' to hide
Is going to start to show
This is how it's been
Always hesitant
I want to my feel my heart on fire now
And let the safety net burn down
Throw my arms out wide
Let your love collide in me
I want to run with my heart on my shirt
Straight into the wind, maybe get hurt
I thought living safe meant living stronger
No longer
There's a set of keys
And a heavy door
They can set you free
Or lock you in some more
If you sing your song
I will sing along
Let the walls come down
So let's go find the stars
Let's remember who we are
I want to my feel my heart on fire now
And let the safety net burn down
Throw my arms out wide
Let your love collide in me
I want to run with my heart on my shirt
Straight into the wind, maybe get hurt
I thought living safe meant living stronger
No longer
Afraid, no longer
Ashamed, no longer
A slave, no longer
No longer, no longer
I'm stronger, I'm stronger
Afraid, no longer
Ashamed, no longer
A slave, no longer
No longer, no longer
I'm stronger, I'm stronger
I want to my feel my heart on fire now
Throw my arms out wide
Let your love collide in me
I want to run with my heart on my shirt
Straight into the wind, maybe get hurt
Cause I thought living safe meant living stronger
No longer...
