Several years ago, I was asking God what I should sing and I was trying to remember some of the songs at church.  I started to sing, Jesus said it, but could not remember the words, I asked God to help me remember the song, and I began to speak in tongues and this is the song that actually came out of my mouth.  "Jesus Said, "Yes!"


JESUS SAID YES!

So I said, “Yes” and He broke every curse,

Lifted my burden and all of my hurt.

He paid the price for my sin and my shame

His precious blood removed every stain.

When I said “Yes,” I will take up my cross.”
G                       C
Jesus said “Go, tell all that are lost.”

If I would just follow His lead,
C                          G                C
The angels rejoice when others believe.

Signs would follow all those that believe

He will not leave you as others have done.

Later, I asked God what kind of song was this? Was it country, gospel or Praise and Worship? He sounded kind of mad and said that it was Evangelism. I guess I should not try to classify what the genre of the song is when it came directly from God. It is a witness to Sinner and Saved alike. What have you done with Christ? Have you accepted Him, followed Him, given all that you have both body and mind as well as earthly possession? Has it cost you friendships? Have you followed through on your commitment to Him? Do signs follow you that you do not even have to tell others that you are a Christian? They just know. We have a tendency to look to others for help and advise and come to depend on others, but do we take it to God and ask for His help, do we believe on the Lord Jesus as the book of Acts tells us. What is the difference between believing on and believing in? You and your household being saved. (Acts 16:31) For even the demons do believe and tremble (James 2:19). Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5,6)
