Story behind the song
You are not your own …for you have been bought with a price 1 Cor 6:19&20 This song serves as a reminder of the wonderful truth that the apostle Paul was trying to impress upon the struggling believers in Corinth. The basic need to belong can drive us to participate in the most foolish actions or it can draw us into the most beneficial relationship we could ever experience. It is good to know that, no matter what our experience has been, we can find genuine acceptance in the One who paid the ultimate price for our battered souls because He saw the value of what we could be.
Lyrics
I stood on the platform of life's auctioneer The clamor of bidding was all I could hear The highest price offered was my destiny I'd belong to whoever would settle for me I belong to the One who paid dearly for me Who opened my blind eyes and caused me to see To the One who redeemed me and gave me this song From this day and forever – I belong (To the One who redeemed me – I belong) Though battered from use He saw value in me I was worth more to Him than what others could see Amid all complaints and unwarranted strife In the final transaction I cost Him His life ( I Belong) Now every day still the offers come in Seductive - disguised by a world full of sin But I'll always remember the price that He paid And I thank Him each day for the choice that He made
