I don't belong to you anymore

by Latanya Mims Adams

I don't belong to you anymore.

At one time in my life you had a stronghold. 

I was traveling down a rocky road. but now I'm set free.

Set free for all eternity!

You had me thinking I would never amount to anything.

You gave me all the heartache that pain can bring. You made it appear it seems, that Jesus was just a fantasy or a make believe dream.

Depression and despair were everywhere.
I could not see into the light.

I even entertained the thought
of taking my own life.

I was living a life of strife and literally running for my life.
My father said child, this will only last for a while. 

Remember times will get hard but you belong to the most high GOD.  

Your life may get rough but it's not yours to take.

Don't let the devil fool you, don't make that mistake! I gave you life, I breathe your first breath.

Go on and live child, don't hurry death.

I rose up from my despair and took my first step. like a baby learning how to walk. Like a child learning how to talk.

I read your word and your will I sought.  

I read your word and it spoke to me.

It said come find true love that will last for all eternity.

I don't belong to you and more.

Your lies and deceit I have come to abhor.

The love of GOD I have learned to adore.

At times you try to creep in but the LORD has closed that door.

He said my child you don't belong to him anymore go out and tell others it¹s the LORD you're living for.
