Say Yes

1) When I came into this world, I just can't recall
I don't remember anything about my birth at all
But one day, on my knees in prayer, I just never will forget
I've got a birth I can't remember, and one I can't forget
Chorus:
Oh, but to the world it made no difference,
Some might even frown
But the angels, they rejoiced,
When my name was written down
Unworthy of His mercy, but yet He paid the debt
I've got a birth I can't remember, and one I can't forget
2) Well, it never made the papers, it never made the evening news
When I took off the old man, and I put on the new
My sins were cast into forgetfulness, as the East is from the West
I've got a birth I can't remember, and one I can't forget
Chorus
Tag: Unworthy of His mercy, but yet He paid the debt
I've got a birth I can't remember, and one I can't forget
By Charles Wesley
Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy guilty fears
The bleeding sacrifice in thy behalf appears
Before the throne thy Surety stands,
Before the throne thy Surety stands
My name is written on His hands
He ever lives above, for me to intercede
His all-redeeming love, His precious Blood to plead
His Blood atones for all our race,
His Blood atones for all our race
And sprinkles now the throne of grace
The Father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One
He cannot turn away the presence of His Son
The Spirit answers to the Blood,
The Spirit answers to the Blood
And tells me I am born of God
My God has reconciled, His pard'ning voice I hear
He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear
With confidence I now draw nigh,
With confidence I now draw nigh
And "Father, Abba Father," cry
Hear, ransomed sinners, hear, the pris'ners of the Lord
And wait 'til Christ appears, according to His Word
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me
We shall from all our sins be free
Surely in us the hope of glory shall appear
Sinners your heads lift up and sing "Redemption's near"
Again I say, "Rejoice with me,"
Again I say, "Rejoice with me,"
We shall from all our sins be free.
Long hear the trumpet blow, the gladly solemn sound
Let all the nations know, in earth's remotest bound
The Year of Jubilee is come,
The Year of Jubilee is come
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home
Extol the Lamb of God, the all-atoning Lamb
Redemption in His Blood, to all the world proclaimed
The Year of Jubilee is come,
The Year of Jubilee is come,
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home
Tag: Return, ye ransomed sinners, home
1) Alas, and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred Head
For such a worm as I?
Chorus:
He loves me, He loves me
He loves me, this I know
He gave Himself to die for me
Because He loves me so
2) Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories
When Christ, the Mighty Maker died
For man, the creature's, sin
3) Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Chorus
4) But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe
Here, Lord, I give myself away
'Tis all that I can do
5) Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
Chorus-- 2x
1) This body gives me trouble, it suffers grief and pain
It feels the summer's heat, and the winter's chilling ran
Someday things will be different when I lay these burdens down
I'll have a brand-new body, when I pick up robe & crown
Chorus:
I shall be changed, I shall be changed
In the twinkling of an eye, I shall be changed
I'm gonna tell this world goodbye, homeward then I'll fly
Fly, fly, fly
Oh, praise the Lord someday I shall be changed
2) When I get my glorified body, my new life shall begin
I'll be just like my Jesus, free from death and sin
Someday things will be different, when I hear my Savior shout
I'll have a brand-new body, when these feet they leave the ground
Chorus-- 2x
Tag: I shall be changed
Chorus:
I'll say "Yes, Lord, yes" to Your Will and to Your Way
I'll say "Yes, Lord, yes", I will trust You and obey
When Your Spirit speaks to me, with my whole heart, I'll agree
And my answer will be "Yes, Lord, yes"
1) Lord, I give You all the glory, for all You've given me
You have filled my life until I overflowed
All I have is Yours to use, in any way You choose
You are Lord of all, so how can I say "no"?
So,
Chorus
2) If I never knew the fullness of living in Your Will
I would know how rich my life could be
Lord, my willingness to serve is the least that You deserve
For the blessings You have showered over me
So,
Chorus- 2x
Tag: When Your Spirit speaks to me, with my whole heart, I'll agree
And my answer will be "Yes, Lord, yes" ("Lord, yes")
1) Well, I went down to the bookstore, just the other day
I went to buy a Bible, for I had just got saved
When I asked to see a Bible, I could not understand
They had a shelf-full ten feet long, each one a different brand
Chorus1:
They had the ASV, and the RSV, Good News for Modern Man
They seemed to have a version for every cult and clan
The so-called Living Bible, and the brand-new NIV
But I soon found out the Devil was the one who started these
2) So I took an ASV to church, the preacher preached in Psalms
But when he started reading, I knew something was wrong
I wondered if he could not read, or was he going blind?
But I finally figured out, he had a different kind
Chorus2:
Was it a Mormon Bible or some book from some religious sect?
Or the New Scofield, since they departed from the King James text?
Or the so-called Living Bible, or Good News for Modern Man?
But I soon found out that all of this was part of Satan's plan
3) So, I went back down to the bookstore, to get my money back
But when I showed them all my problems, they slapped me on the back
And said, "Well now, son, some of these Bibles are hard to understand,
I suggest that you should try Good News for Modern Man."
4) So I took the other version, I thought I'd give it a try
But when I showed it to my pastor, he said it was a lie
They attacked the Blood of Jesus, saying He was not God on Earth
They even put some cuss-words in, and denied the virgin birth!
Wicked!!!
5) So, if you go to buy a Bible, please take this good advice
Take nothing but the old King James, the others may sound nice
Compared to the new translations, old King James may seem odd
But the difference is expected when you have the Word of God

1) God calls men and women for His purpose
Some to stay, some to go across the sea
To carry His precious love to a soul held down in bondage
This is the mind of Christ, let this mind be in you
Chorus:
For His ways are so far above our ways
And His love He proved on Calvary
And every move He makes, it's all because He loves me
To have the Mind of Christ, let this mind be in you
2) There's been times that I've looked around and wondered
And then I've asked the Lord, "Why do things turn out the way they do?"
But I live in a realm of Time, and I only see the present,
But with the Mind of Christ, I know it's working for my good
3) And in eternity, when we see all things clearly
Then we'll say to Him, "Lord, You make no mistake
If I'd only trusted You, all You did was because You loved me"
To have the Mind of Christ, let this mind be in you
Chorus
Tag: This is the mind of Christ, let this mind be in you
1) My heart is like a house, one day I let the Savior in
There were many rooms that I'd visit now and then
Then one day He saw the door, I knew the day had come too soon
I said, "Jesus, I'm not ready for us to visit in that room."
Chorus1:
That's the place in my heart where even I don't go
I have some things hidden there I don't want anyone to know
But He handed me the key, with tears of love on His face
He said, "I want to make you clean, let Me in your secret place."
2) Then He opened up the door, and the two of us walked in
I was so ashamed, His light revealed my hidden sin
But when I think about that room now, I'm not ashamed anymore
For I know my evil sins no longer hide behind that door
Chorus2:
That's the place in my heart where even I didn't go
I had some things hidden there I didn't want anyone to know
But He handed me the key, with tears of love on His face
He said, "I want to make you clean, let Me in your secret place."
Chorus3:
Is there a place in your heart where even you don't go?
You've got some things hidden there you don't want anyone to know
But he's handing you the key, with tears of love on His face
He says, "I want to make you clean, let Me in your secret place."
Tag: Jesus made me clean, I let Him in my secret place
