I pour out all my worship

My tears they fall before you
From what your love has done to me

I see your yes to me in your nail pierced hands
I will love you Lord, and walk in your commands

This is more than words, it’s more than a song, it’s a life laid down

I will love you with my yes, Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Obedience connects worship with a life actively submitted to Jesus. The opening verse places personal devotion, tears, and every part of life before God, while the pre-chorus looks to Christ’s nail-pierced hands as the model of costly surrender. Love is therefore presented as more than speech or song; it takes visible form in keeping God’s commands and laying down personal ambition.
The chorus makes a willing yes and obedience the repeated expression of love. In the second verse, that commitment includes surrendering self-will and reputation in order to follow Christ alone. The bridge develops the same theme through the paradox of losing life and finding it in Jesus, closely reflecting Christ’s teaching about discipleship. These ideas align with the biblical connection between love and obedience, yet the lyrics do not treat obedience as cold duty. Joy, gratitude, and the cross supply its motive, portraying faithful action as a response to the love already displayed by Christ.
