I Will Say Yes To Jesus

(Author: A.B. Simpson)

 

I WILL say “Yes.” to Jesus,

Oft it was “No,” before,

As He knocked at my heart’s proud entrance

And I firmly bar’d the door;

But I’ve made a complete surrender,

And giv’n Him right of way,

And henceforth it is always “Yes,”

Whatever He may say.

 

I will say “Yes.” to Jesus,

His promises I’ll claim,

And in ev’ry cheque He endorses

I’ll dare to write my name:

I will put my “Amen,” wherever

My God has put His “Yea,”

And ever boldly answer “Yes,”

Whatever He may say.

 

I will say “Yes.” to Jesus,

To all that He commands;

I will hasten to do His bidding

With willing hearts and hands;

I will listen to hear His whispers,

And learn His will each day,

And always gladly answer "Yes,"

Whatever He may say.

 

I will say “Yes.” to Jesus,

What’er His hands may bring;

And tho’ clouds hang o’er my pathway,

My trusting heart will sing,

“I will follow where’er He leadeth,

My Shepherd knows the way,

And while I live I’ll answer ‘Yes,’

Whatever He may say.”
