Roscoe Crawley’s powerful single “Not My Own” was the first release from his 2023 EP project. This song of declaration captures the essence of surrendering to the life of the Spirit when following Jesus. Written in collaboration with his brother Harry, the song emerged as an anthem of breakthrough for their local church, embodying themes of abandonment and surrender.
Roscoe shares that the chorus came first, becoming a pivotal point for the rest of the song’s development over the following days and weeks. The lyrics and melody were crafted to resonate deeply with both his church community and his personal spiritual journey.
“Not My Own” aims to create a worship experience accessible to churches of all sizes, from intimate living room gatherings to large Sunday services. It’s a prayerful call for listeners to find freedom in Jesus, and Roscoe hopes that everyone who hears it will encounter the love of God. The song has already proven to be a blessing in local church contexts and remains relevant for many today.
