Our identity now is as children of God. We belong to God, and His life within us can do things no one else can do. This sense of belonging is incredibly precious to us. We belong to God and He belongs to us: ‘my Beloved is mine, and I am His.’ (Song of Songs 2:16) We also now belong to His wider family, the church.
‘These hands do nothing until You compel me.
These feet go nowhere until You propel me.
My heart is barren till Your Spirit rushes through.
This life is nothing without You.
I’ve reached the end of what my sight can show me.
I only wanna know the One who knows me
My heat was searching, now I’ve finally found the Truth
This life is nothing, without You
Let Your hope be my breath.
Let Your love be my song.
Let Your peace be my rest.
I was made to belong to You.
I belong to You!
You’re my begining, and You’re my forever.
You are my victory and my surrender
Oh, Hallelujah, by Your mercy I am new
This life is nothing, without You; ohh…
Take this flesh and bone; breathe Your life within.
Take this heart of stone; make it beat again.
Take this flesh and bone; breathe Your life within.
Take this heart of stone; make it beat again.’ (‘Belong’, Aaron Shust)
