Lyrics
No longer I who live but Christ in me
He is the hope of glory
Oh what a privilege to worship Him
To be for Jesus only
Whether I live, whether I die
I'll let it be for Christ
Whether I live, whether I die
Your name be glorified
Jesus I give all of my life
I'll live in sacrifice
I say yes again
I say yes again
Oh Father, not my will, but yours be done
This is my fresh surrender
Whether in joy or pain or suffering
Oh Lord, you are my treasure
Whether I live, whether I die
I'll let it be for Christ
Whether I live, whether I die
Your name be glorified
Jesus I give all of my life
I'll live in sacrifice
I say yes again
I say yes again
I say yes again
I say yes again
Yes to the spirit
Yes to surrender
Yes on the mountain
Yes in the desert
Yes in this moment
Yes and forever
Whatever it looks like
Whatever it looks like
I say yes to the giving
Yes to the taking
Yes to the going
Yes to the waiting
Yes for our families
Yes for the nations
Whatever it looks like
Whatever it looks like
I say yes to the Spirit
Yes to surrender
Yes on the mountain
Yes in the desert
Yes in this moment
Yes and forever
Whatever it looks like
Whatever it looks like
I say yes to the giving
Yes to the taking
Yes to the going
Yes to the waiting
Yes for my family
Yes for the nations
Whatever it looks like
Whatever it looks like
Whether I live, whether I die
I'll let it be for Christ
Whether I live, whether I die
Your name be glorified
Jesus I give all of my life
I'll live in sacrifice
I say yes again
I say yes again
I say yes again
I say yes again
I say yes again
I say yes again

Meaning & Inspiration
Yes Again presents Christian discipleship as a renewed surrender of the whole life to Christ. Its opening declaration closely follows Galatians 2:20, where personal identity is understood through Christ living within the believer. The chorus carries that confession into life and death, joy and suffering, asking that the name of Jesus be glorified in every circumstance. Sacrifice is not treated as a single dramatic moment but as a repeated answer of obedience.
The song’s language about the Father’s will recalls the prayer of Jesus before the crucifixion, giving its surrender a clear biblical pattern. Mountain and desert, giving and taking, going and waiting all name contrasting situations in which faithfulness may be required. References to family and nations widen the focus beyond private devotion, while the repeated yes keeps the response personal and immediate. Christ is described as the believer’s hope, glory, and treasure, making devotion to him the reason for accepting both costly action and patient trust.
