Maverick City Music + Chandler Moore - Yes & Amen Lyrics
Lyrics
[Intro: Chandler Moore]
You're a man of Your word, yes, You are
All of Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen"
If You said it, we believe it
[Verse 1: Chandler Moore]
Father of kindness
You have poured out grace
You have brought me out of darkness
You have filled me with peace
Giver of mercy
You're my help in time of need
Lord, I can't help but sing
[Chorus: Chandler Moore]
Let's sing aloud
Faithful, You are
Faithful, forever You will be
Faithful, You are (Sing aloud)
All Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen" (Oh yeah yeah)
All Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen"
[Verse 2: Chandler Moore]
Hold on, second verse
Beautiful Savior
You have brought me near
You pulled me from the ashes
You have broken every curse
Blessed Redeemer
You have set this captive free
Lord, I can't help but sing
[Chorus: Chandler Moore]
And we say faithful, You are
Faithful, forever You will be (Yeah)
Faithful, You are (We believe and we know that)
All Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen" (Say faithful)
Faithful, You are (You're a man of Your word)
Faithful, forever You will be (Faithful)
Faithful, You are (All Your promises)
All Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen" (Say all Your promises)
All Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen"
[Spontaneous: Chandler Moore]
Yeah, You're a man of Your word
We have confidence in what You say, in what You say
Our sure foundation is what You say, it's what You say
Our hope is built on nothing less but what You say, what You say
I can believe 'cause what You say is true, yes
What You say, what You say
You say I'm healed, I'm delivered, I'm free
That is what You say, what You say
I'm a lender, not a borrower
That is what You say, what You say
It's what You say, what You say
Let's say this, say...
[Bridge: Chandler Moore]
I will rest in Your promises
Yeah, my confidence is Your faithfulness (It is, yeah)
I will rest in Your promises (My confidence)
My confidence is Your faithfulness (Yes, it is)
(I will) I will rest in Your promises (I can chill on Your word)
(My confidence) My confidence is Your faithfulness (Yeah)
(I will rest) I will rest in Your promises (I can sleep on Your word)
My confidence is Your faithfulness (Yeah)
[Chorus: Chandler Moore]
Say faithful
Faithful, You are (Faithful)
Faithful, forever You will be (It's who You are, it's who You are)
Faithful, You are (Yeah, and all Your promises)
All Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen" (They are, yes, all Your promises)
All Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen"
[Spontaneous: Chandler Moore]
If You say I'm healed I trust what You say, what You say
If You said I'm a son I trust what You say, what You say
If You say they are daughters I will trust what You say, what You say
If You say we're children of the Most High we trust what You say, what You say
If You say my mother will be healed I will trust what You say, what You say
If You said my father will be delivered from alcohol I will trust what You say, what You say
If You said my sister will be delivered from depression I say I will trust what You say, what You say
You will keep all Your promises, we trust (What You say)
We trust (What You say)
We trust what You say (What You say)
What You say (What You say)
What You say (What You say)
We trust (What You say)
We believe (What You say)
We stand on (What You say)
We witness (What You say)
What You say (What You say)
(What You say)
What You (What You say)
What You say (What You say)
You said it (What You say)
We believe it (What You say)
What You say (What You say)
What You say (What You say)

Meaning & Inspiration
There is a frantic, human edge to the way Chandler Moore repeats the phrase "what You say" in the spontaneous portion of this Maverick City Music track. It repeats so often it almost loses its meaning, becoming a drumbeat, a rhythmic anchor against the rising tide of his own petitions.
I find myself fixated on the phrase: "I can sleep on Your word."
It appears in the bridge, tossed off with a casual, almost gritty nonchalance. It’s a strange image. We are taught to "stand" on the Word—an active, bracing posture against the storm. We are taught to "build" on it—a structural, architectural endeavor. But to "sleep on" it? That feels domestic, vulnerable, and dangerously soft.
If you’ve ever tried to sleep on a promise, you know the literal tension. It’s not actually a mattress. It’s an idea. It’s a claim made by a God who often seems invisible when the bills are past due or the medical report is grim. Mentally "sleeping" on the idea that you are healed while the cough is still there—or that your father will be delivered while the bottle is still open—is not a comfortable night’s rest. It’s more like tossing and turning on a bed of conviction.
There’s a clear tension here between the biblical concept of "rest" and the reality of human desperation. In Hebrews 4, the writer speaks of a Sabbath rest that remains for the people of God, a cessation of our own frantic works. But Moore isn’t singing about a Sunday morning nap. He’s singing about the frantic, "spontaneous" lists of real-life crises—depression, alcoholism, cancer.
Is this a cliché? On paper, perhaps. The "Yes and Amen" theology is standard fare in many circles. But listen to the way he leans into the repetition. It’s not the tidy, polished declaration of a Sunday School teacher. It sounds more like someone trying to convince themselves while the house is shaking. By repeating "what You say" dozens of times, he isn’t just praising; he is suffocating the doubt. He is trying to make the promise of God the only thing in the room that has any gravity.
I’m left wondering if the "rest" he describes is a destination or a fight. It feels like he’s trying to talk himself into a peace that doesn't actually match his circumstances. It’s beautiful, and it’s messy. It’s the sound of a man trying to treat a promise as if it were a physical floor beneath him, praying that it won’t give way while he closes his eyes. It’s a gamble, really. A risky, desperate act of confidence. You don't "sleep" on something unless you’ve reached the point where you simply can't carry the weight of your own reality anymore.
