I say yes

I say yes; a hymn by Joel Howard, January 2019

Preface: There was a profound moment the other night when my girls were anxious before bed.  I came in the room and declared: "Jesus wants to give you sleep; say 'yes Jesus'" (Psalm 127:2).  The girls each obeyed, said "Yes Jesus" and went promptly to sleep without a word. It was a simple, yet holy moment that spoke to my soul.  This hymn comes from that place.  Let us each bask in what He is willing at all moments to give us if we will say 'yes'.  JDH
