God offers many things to warm our night and cool our day
How to live and how to love, how to work and how to play
With the times of our life so filled with abundant choices
We swivel and sway while the music lifts up our voices
Oh, yes is our answer as it is the God that we know
His words giving strength, lifting us up as our heads bend low
But the choices we see can constrict us, limit our deeds
Can we decline that which is proffered, not go where He leads?
How do we know that yes is the one answer expected?
That what was demanded of us was to be rejected
Yes, yes, yes we often repeat, each so quick to comply
Is His way for us never to argue, not even try?
We can choose to oppose His command with thoughtful good sense
While we struggle and tug at the reins of obedience
With eyes that look backward through time, we learn how we did see
Yes or no, God loves our choices, our will is always free
