#314, #750

 

 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.
