We are free.
Not mastered by sin
We have the power
To say Yes;
And to say No.
No, to all temptation.
No, to every lie that tries to sway us.
No, to each seductive persuasion
That calls out to our lesser selves,
We have the power
To say No.
And to say Yes.
Yes, to all that is good and right and true.
Yes, to all that is holy and worthy of praise.
Yes, to beauty, righteousness, excellence;
Yes to divine encounters and sacred relationships;
Yes to God’s wisdom, grace, and forgiveness.
Yes to our salvation
Now and forever
Through Jesus Christ
Empowering us to say No;
Inviting us to say Yes.
