About this Hymn
Based on Q&A #1 of the Heidelberg Catechism (1563), this song reminds us that, because sin messed up this perfect earthly home, we needed a Savior to fix all that was broken. Jesus paid a huge price to do that with his precious blood, and his Holy Spirit lives within all who trust in him. And so even more we delight in doing what is right with our bodies and minds and hearts and actions and learn to turn away from what is not. For I belong to the Lord. I am not my own. – Keith Getty
Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
I am not my own, and now my heart is free; oh, 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.
