Overall Meaning

The London Community Gospel Choir's song "My Soul Says Yes" is a beautiful expression of submission to God. The lyrics are an affirmation of the singer's trust in God and their willingness to surrender their desires and follow God's will. The chorus, "My soul says yes to the will of the Lord, I give my will over," is particularly powerful as it captures the heart of the song.

The first verse begins with the singer acknowledging that their life is in God's hands and they are willing to do whatever he asks. This is a powerful statement of trust and faith in God's guidance. The second verse continues in the same vein, with the singer offering their body as a living sacrifice to God, declaring that they will trust him with their heart, mind, body, and soul. The bridge then takes this trust even further, with the singer stating that they will submit to God's will and not their own.

What makes this song particularly moving is the way the choir performs it. The harmonies and melodies are beautiful and soulful, drawing the listener in and creating a sense of reverence and awe. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message of the song and creates a sense of unity as everyone joins in to declare their willingness to follow God's will.
