No Longer a Slave Lyrics

What up everybody

This is a celebration of freedom

If you got something that's been controlling you

It doesn't have to be that way

You can claim victory over that thing

Even if you're still in progress

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave,

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

No longer a slave, nah, 'cause I'm not my own

My sins made a debt I could never atone

Cause interest compounds like a federal loan

But Christ paid it all so I'm made, no longer a slave

Jyeah, cause I'm not on my own

Resurrection power within, so I'm never alone

Another story chapter begins in a venerable tome

Was gone a season but it's better at home

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

Finally free, no better place to be at

Jelani G, a.k.a. G-Nat (belie' dat)

You see that's the thing when you flap your wing

And take off, it's hard to believe that it's happening

But I refuse to believe that I'm going nowhere

Sometimes freedom is delayed like a flight at O'Hare

Eventually it'll get there, and I will too because

Above all the clouds, the sky is blue

No more slaving under the weight of expectations

No more accusations in my inner monologue

No more kowtowing to brutal demagogues

Prioritizing their wishes over the decalogue

No longer a slave, a henchman or a minion

No more obsessing over others' opinions

I'm not held captive to my id or my ego

And tryin' not to act distracted by placebo

Diversifying my diet of breakfast burrito

Which means I'm not a slave to my taste buds

And looking to curb non-essential consumption

I'm no longer a slave to my pay stubs

Cause I was free from sin, from the jump, son

But instant success was my assumption

Sanctification happens in conjunction with

Blunders, distress and mad dysfunction

So now I'm free to offer myself grace

And work through the details of all my mistakes

Free to forgive and mend some fences

Cause holdin' old grudges has consequences

And I can't afford to pay the steep price

My freedom I exercise, but in Christ

A daily discipline, my life sacrifice

Cause that's what He gave, and so I'm

No longer a slave, nah, 'cause I'm not my own

My sins made a debt I could never atone

Cause interest compounds like a federal loan

But Christ paid it all so I'm made, no longer a slave

Jyeah, cause I'm not on my own

Resurrection power within, so I'm never alone

Another story chapter begins in a venerable tome

Was gone a season but it's better at home

No longer a slave, nah, 'cause I'm not my own

My sins made a debt I could never atone

Cause interest compounds like a federal loan

But Christ paid it all so I'm made, no longer a slave

Jyeah, cause I'm not on my own

Resurrection power within, so I'm never alone

Another story chapter begins in a venerable tome

Was gone a season but it's better at home, let's go

If you been redeemed, your life has been saved

Then join along with me and say

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

JYEAH, LET'S GO

If you been redeemed and you've been made free

Come along, sing it with me

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave,

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

JYEAH, LET'S GO

If you been redeemed, your life has been saved

Then join along with me and say,

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

JYEAH, LET'S GO

If you been redeemed and you've been made free

Come along, sing it with me

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave,

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave

No longer a slave, I'm no longer a slave

That's the price He paid, the sacrifice He gave
