Dead to Law is a bold gospel declaration rooted in the theology of grace. Drawing from the Pauline truth that believers are no longer bound by the condemnation of the Mosaic law but are made alive through Christ, John Olumayowa crafts an anthem of spiritual freedom — a reminder that the stone tablets have been replaced by a living covenant written on the heart.
The imagery of the Ten Commandments rising from the cover art is intentional: not a rejection of God’s holiness, but a proclamation that the penalty has been paid, the chains broken. The song invites listeners into the liberty of grace — where striving ends and surrender begins.
Lyrics:
Dead to Law ROM 7:1-4
Verse 1
Once I was a servant of law
Weak and helpless without hope
Sin was reigning in my body
Was tortured by woes and foes
Chorus
I’m dead to law in Christ I’m living
Set free from Satan and death
With this law of the spirit my
Soul will serve the King of kings
Verse 2
What a endless life in Christ
Sweet and rich in peace of mind
Free from all limitations known
Because Christ now dwells in me
Chorus
I’m dead to law in Christ I’m living
Set free from Satan and death
With this law of the spirit my
Soul will serve the King of kings
Verse 3
I am forever free to live
A life glorious and fulfilled
A life where Christ now rules and reigns
Forever and ever more
Chorus
I’m dead to law in Christ I’m living
Set free from Satan and death
With this law of the spirit my
Soul will serve the King of kings
Verse 4
Buried in baptism with Christ
Partaker of His forbearance
Partaker of His affliction
Risen with Him forever more
Chorus
I’m dead to law in Christ I’m living
Set free from Satan and death
With this law of the spirit my
Soul will serve the King of kings
Verse 5
Standing upright before my King
Christ’s righteousness is my garment
Washed and cleaned in blood of Jesus
Eternity is my home
Chorus
I’m dead to law in Christ I’m living
Set free from Satan and death
With this law of the spirit my
Soul will serve the King of kings
