 1 

To the foe my word is always, "No,"

   To the Father it is, "Yes,"

That His plan and all His counsel

   Be accomplished with success;

When Thine orders I'm obeying,

   Grant me, Lord, authority

To fulfill Thy plan eternal

   Thru the Spirit's power in me.

 

 2 

To the foe my word is always, "No,"

   To the Father it is, "Yes,"

'Tis my attitude eternal;

   May the Lord protect and bless,

Lest while walking in obedience

   Satan undermine the way;

When I'm list'ning to Thine orders,

   Grant me mercy, Lord, I pray.

 

 3 

To the foe my word is always, "No,"

   To the Father it is, "Yes,";

I completely would obey Him,

   Though deep suff'ring may oppress.

If the Lord will save and keep me,

   As I forward press with Him,

Then no trials shall prevent me,

   Nor will opposition grim.
