My Soul Says Yes
Sonnie Badu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul says yes, says yes to your will
My soul says yes, says yes, says yes
My soul says yes, says yes to your will
Where you lead me, I will follow
When you call me, I will answer
Oh my Lord, teach me how to know your ways
Whatever it takes, whenever you want
Oh my Lord, let your will be done in me
So be my light, be my guide
Be my way, be my will
Oh my Lord, come lay your hands all over me
Moya wangu bvuwa, bvuma, bvumaaa
Moya wangu bvuwa, bvuma, kunashe
My soul says yes, says yes, says yes
My soul says yes, says yes to your will
Whatever you say, what you want
Do it your way, do it your way
My soul says yes, says yes, says yes
My body says yes, do it your way
Do it your way….
