Brian Courtney Wilson - I'll Just Say Yes Lyrics
Lyrics
I'll just say yes
You lead the way
I'm not afraid of what it means for me to say
That this life You gave
Is not my own
I'm trusting You to hear my yes and lead me on
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours
I'll just say yes (yes Lord).
You lead the way (yes Lord)
I'm not afraid of what it means for me to say
(that this life You gave) this life You gave
(is not my own) is not my own
I'm trusting You to hear my yes and lead me on
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(my life) my life (is) is Yours
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(my life) my life (is) is Yours
And there is peace when I say yes
I might not see it now but You save the best
For all who trust You and obey
There is an answer no more delay
(I'll just say yes, yes Lord)
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(my life) my life (is) is Yours (completely Yours)
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(yes Lord) yes Lord
(my life) my life (it is) is Yours
And there is peace when I say yes
(I might not see it now) I might not see it now
But You save the best
For all who trust You and obey
There is an answer no more delay
(and there is peace) and there is peace (when I)
when I say yes
(I might not see it now)
I might not see it now (but You save the best) but You save the best
For all who trust You and obey
There is an answer no more delay
I'll just say yes
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours
Yes Lord, yes Lord, my life is Yours

Meaning & Inspiration
Brian Courtney Wilson's powerful declaration, "I'll Just Say Yes," released on February 10, 2015, is more than just a song; it's a profound statement of surrender and trust, deeply rooted in the Christian faith. The core message revolves around a radical willingness to yield one's life and plans to God, recognizing that this earthly existence is not ultimately our own. This sentiment echoes the foundational principle found throughout Scripture, particularly in verses that emphasize God's sovereignty and our role as stewards of His blessings. The repeated refrain, "Yes Lord," acts as a spiritual anchor, reinforcing a commitment that transcends personal understanding or immediate gratification. It speaks to a profound faith that understands God's wisdom and love surpasses human foresight, a concept beautifully illustrated in Isaiah 55:8-9, which states, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
The strength of "I'll Just Say Yes" lies in its unwavering focus on divine guidance and the peace that accompanies such a surrender. Wilson articulates a mature faith perspective, acknowledging that the path ahead may be unclear but that God "saves the best" for those who place their trust and obedience in Him. This resonates with the biblical assurance found in Romans 8:28, which promises that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." The song’s simple yet profound declaration is a powerful counterpoint to the anxieties and uncertainties of life, offering a spiritual balm that silences the need for further deliberation. It mirrors the complete submission demonstrated by biblical figures like Abraham, who, when called by God, "went out, not knowing where he was going" (Hebrews 11:8), and Mary, whose humble response to Gabriel’s announcement was, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38). The song’s ultimate message is an encouragement to embrace a life of faith, where uttering a simple "yes" opens the door to divine purpose and unparalleled peace, transforming hesitation into unwavering conviction.
