I SAY "YES," LORD

Donna Peña

Verse 1. To the God who cannot die: I say "Yes," my Lord.
To the one who hears me cry: I say "Yes," my Lord.
To the God of the oppressed: I say "Yes," my Lord.
To the God of all justice: I say "Yes," my Lord.

Refrain: I say "Yes," my Lord,
in all the good times, through all the bad times.
I say "Yes," my Lord,
to ev'ry word you speak.

Verse 2. I am a servant of the Lord: I say "Yes," my Lord.
I'm a worker in the fields: I say "Yes," my Lord.
I'm a prisoner of their wars: I say "Yes," my Lord.
Like a politician, inevitably: I say "Yes," my Lord.

Verse 3. For the dream I have today: I say "Yes," my Lord.
To be a healer of all pain: I say "Yes," my Lord.
To come to love my enemies: I say "Yes," my Lord.
For your peace in all the world: I say "Yes," my Lord.

Verse 4. Like that of Job, unceasingly: I say "Yes," my Lord.
Like that of Maria wholeheartedly: I say "Yes," my Lord.
Like that of David in a song: I say "Yes," my Lord.
Like Israel, for you I long: I say "yes," my Lord.
