Ada Ehi - Yes Lyrics
Lyrics
The writings on the wall
Did you see?
And the mountains moved away for me
I'm going all the way
I'm singing as I go
Jehovah says to me
Hmm...
To my dreams
(Yes)
To my heart
(Yes)
To my goals
(Yes)
To my future
(Yes)
Whatever I want
Whatever I need
Whenever I call
His answer is
(Yes)
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
I'll say it again
Again and again
The answer is yes
The walls are tumbling down
Around you
And doors are open wide for you
You might have said before
Will it ever be?
Jehovah says to you
Hmm...
For every tear you'll rise again
For every dream you'll shine again
For every seed you'd run again
For every prayer
The answer is
(Yes)
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
I'll say it again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Don't give up now
It's only for a while
This walls that you see
Get to them
They are not real
Remember
Your answer is
(Yes)
Your answer is
(Yes)
Close your eyes
Keeping saying it
Your answer is
(Yes)
Keeping talking
(Yes)
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
I'll say it again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
I'll say it again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
I'll say it again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
The answer is yes
Again and again
I'll say it again
Again and again
The answer is yes...

Meaning & Inspiration
Ada Ehi's "Yes," released in 2014 as part of her album "Lifted," stands as a powerful anthem of unwavering faith and divine affirmation. This song doesn't merely suggest hope; it boldly declares it, drawing deeply from the wellspring of biblical promises. The core message of "Yes" is the absolute certainty of God's positive response to the prayers and aspirations of His children. Ada Ehi's masterful delivery transforms abstract theological concepts into tangible declarations of victory and fulfillment. The recurring refrain, "The answer is yes," echoes throughout the track, mirroring the persistent nature of faith as described in scriptures like Matthew 7:7, which assures us, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." This simple, yet profound repetition underscores the unwavering character of God's faithfulness.
The lyrics paint vivid imagery of overcoming insurmountable obstacles, speaking of mountains moving and walls tumbling down. This directly relates to passages such as Joshua 6, where the walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites followed God's instructions, or Isaiah 43:2, which promises, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you." Ada Ehi effectively captures the essence of spiritual warfare and eventual triumph, assuring listeners that no barrier is too great when aligned with God's will. The song's emphasis on dreams, goals, and future aspirations finds resonance in Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This verse serves as a foundational text for the song's encouraging message, highlighting that God's plans are inherently good and marked by His affirmation.
Furthermore, "Yes" speaks to the transformative power of God's grace in response to trials. The lines, "For every tear you'll rise again, for every dream you'll shine again," are a direct echo of promises found in Psalms, particularly Psalm 30:5, which states, "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." This acknowledges the reality of suffering but places it within the context of ultimate redemption and joy through divine intervention. The song is not just a passive reception of blessings; it is an active engagement with faith, urging listeners to believe and declare their "Yes" in unison with God's. The repeated admonition to "keep saying it" and "keep talking" emphasizes the power of confession and declaration, aligning with the scriptural principle found in Romans 10:10: "For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." Ada Ehi's "Yes" is a profound declaration of God's unfailing promise, a vibrant testament to the power of faith, and a stirring call to embrace the certainty of His resounding "Yes" in every facet of life.
