Psalmist George - When He Says Yes Lyrics
Lyrics
When He says Yes none says No
When He says Yes none says No
When He says Yes nobody says No
And when He says No no one says Yes
When He says Yes none says No
When He says Yes none says No
When He says Yes nobody says No
And when He says No, none says Yes
When I am weak, say I am strong
When I am poor, say I am rich
When I am sick, by His stripes I'm healed
So when He says Yes none says No
He is the lion and the lamb
The beginning and the end
The same yesterday, today & tomorrow
So when He says Yes none says No
And when He says No, none says Yes
When He says Yes none says No
(Adonai is your name)
When He says Yes none says No
When He says Yes nobody says No
And when He says No, none says Yes

Meaning & Inspiration
Psalmist George's "When He Says Yes," released on June 26, 2018, is a powerful declaration of faith, centering on the absolute authority and sovereignty of God. The core message of the song is found in its repeated refrain, asserting that when God affirms something, no human or earthly circumstance can negate it, and conversely, when He denies, no one can grant it. This principle is deeply rooted in biblical truth, echoing passages like Isaiah 43:13 which states, "Before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?" The song unpacks this divine power by moving from the grand, universal truth to personal application. It speaks to the moments of human weakness, poverty, and sickness, immediately countering them with the spiritual realities God provides: strength in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9-10), riches in Christ (Ephesians 1:7-8), and healing through His sacrifice (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24). These affirmations are not mere hopes but established truths because of the One who speaks them. The song also skillfully paints a picture of God's immutable nature, describing Him as the "lion and the lamb," a profound paradox representing His fierce justice and tender mercy, and the "beginning and the end," emphasizing His eternal existence and ultimate control, as seen in Revelation 22:13. This unchanging character, further reinforced by the declaration that He is "the same yesterday, today & tomorrow" (Hebrews 13:8), is the foundation upon which the song’s unwavering confidence rests. The brief mention of "Adonai," a Hebrew name for God signifying Lordship and Master, further elevates the reverence and acknowledges His supreme authority as the ultimate "Yes" and "No" in all of existence. Ultimately, "When He Says Yes" is more than a song; it's an anthem of trust, encouraging listeners to place their complete reliance on God's word and His perfect will, knowing that His affirmation is final and His denial is for our ultimate good.
