What can I say no to?

What can I say no to?

by Joel Howard

So that I can say yes to You?

What can I release

In exchange for glorious peace?

Lord, how can I say this...

How can I display this...

That I may become much less

Much less, much more diminished?

Bury my selfish pride

In the ground where you died

O Lord not I

Yes that is what I can deny!

All the decisions that would be lies

My humility and integrity

Come before my pride

To loosen needless weights

Unto a steadfast stride

Lord not I
