John Waller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask, It shall be given to you,
Seek, and you will find,
Knock, and the door will open, and that's a promise.
He said, He'll finish the work He started and you,
Your needs He will supply,
He'll never leave you nor forsake you, And that's a promise.
It's a guaranty, It's a beautiful thing,
He delights to keep His word...
Chorus:
God says yes to his promises, take Him at His word.
Yeah you can believe that God says yes to,
A child like fate, when we could make,
Everything He died to give, God says yes.
Woh, Woh, Woh, Woh 2x
Verse2:
He said come, all you weary ones, and He will give you rest,
His strength is perfect in our weakness, and that's a promise,
Chorus:
3x
Woh, Woh, Woh, Woh 2x
