Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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.
