God, I say yes.
I got my instructions. They were clear.
I am not going to keep on asking for confirmation
I got enough
Cause see
That asking for confirmation thing
Well that was me trying to delay what I know you told me to do
That was me allowing my fears to be bigger than my faith.
But today I am looking fear square in the eye
And telling it
NO. It’s more like COMMANDING it
To GO
To loose it’s hold.
Because God has big things He wants to do in and through me
I believe it
I receive it
I declare it
So then I go to PRAISING like I have lost my mind
But really I have
I am letting go of thinking too much
Thinking my way out of what you have promised
Thinking I am less than, forgetting that I was called before I was born
Thinking about what others think of me; paralyzing me
Thinking it’s not perfect enough so why even try
In my crazy loud I don’t even know what to do with myself PRAISE
I magnify you
I declare your goodness
I rehearse what you have done for me
In my praise I laugh
Laugh because you have given me beauty for ashes
Laugh because you have redeemed my life from destruction
Laugh because you chose me
YOU
CHOSE
ME
I laugh at the enemy
Because He tried, REALLY HARD
BUT
HE
DID
NOT
WIN
So yeah
You gave me instructions
They were clear
And I say yes
Yes I believe it
Yes I will do it
