Shane & Shane, along with Keith & Kristyn Getty and Skye Peterson, perform "I Am Not My Own," a worship song that celebrates the believer's identity in Christ. The lyrics emphasize that because God created and redeemed us, we belong to Him, and our worth is found in His love. The song encourages surrender, acknowledging that God can repair what is broken and that we can trust our lives to His care. It reflects on the body as a temple and the call to honor God in our earthly lives. The message is one of freedom and devotion, rooted in the truth that we are not our own but belong to the Lord.

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
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
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
I belong to the Lord
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
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
I belong to the Lord, yes. 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
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own
