say "yes."

You face a fork in the road

It happens every day

I've given you the choice

To shake your head and walk away

Can't you see my outstretched hand?

And the pleading in my eyes?

Abundant life awaits

Hear my voice, ignore the lies

You think I want to rob you

Cage your joy and kill your fun

My agenda frightens you

But before you turn and run

Say yes, say yes to me

And what I have in mind

Don't you know I love you?

Or do you need another sign?

I won't bind you

I won't force you

You have freedom to say "no"

But "yes" is the adventure

Take my hand

C'mon let's go!

When you don't get it

When it hurts

When you don't want to

When you just don't know

When apathy's you're friend

And I feel like your foe

Say "yes"

It's easier for us both

When you don't choose to make it hard

Bend your knee

Let down your guard

Extend your open heart

Let me be who I am

And be yourself for a start

You weren't meant to know best

Don't put that to the test

You can't go your way and win

So won't you just say yes?

You feel it's killing you

To surrender one more time

But the life I have for you

Beats the one you leave behind

When you want to pull back

When you want to push away

When you want to launch out

And I've asked you to stay

When you see your own weakness

And impossibility looms

When you're too tired and too sore

When my love has closed a door

When you'd simply rather not

Say "yes"

You don't know what you'll miss

If you decide to tune me out

I have everything you'll need

So be brave, pitch your doubt

This isn't complicated

And you're weary of the fight

In my way you will find rest

Will you trust me and say yes?

Receive my will and yield the throne

Because I've made you my own

My child, I love you dearly

Won't you please say "yes"?
