[Verse 1] I said, “Yes, Lord,” with my hands in my pockets Then walked past the work You had put in my path I knew the right words, kept them neat and untroubled While someone waited for more than my talk [Pre-Chorus] The door is still open The field is still wide I can turn from the wrong road And step to Your side [Chorus] Let my life be my answer Let my feet make it true Not the promise I polish But the good that I do Teach my heart to bend lower As You humbled Yourself “Yes, Lord” is a beginning Let my life say the rest [Verse 2] I held on to anger like proof I was wounded Kept score of each slight, let forgiveness wait But You took the low place and served without honor So I’m laying my pride at the foot of Your gate [Pre-Chorus] The door is still open The field is still wide I can turn from the wrong road And step to Your side [Chorus] Let my life be my answer Let my feet make it true Not the promise I polish But the good that I do Teach my heart to bend lower As You humbled Yourself “Yes, Lord” is a beginning Let my life say the rest [Bridge] Give me the courage to make the call To own what I broke, to repair what I can To choose the hidden and faithful thing And meet You in the face of my neighbor [Final Chorus] Let my life be my answer Let my feet make it true Not the promise I polish But the good that I do Teach my heart to bend lower As You humbled Yourself “Yes, Lord” is a beginning Let my life say the rest [Outro] Here is my answer Here is my yes In what I do next
