Jason Gray's song "When I Say Yes" is a contemporary Christian worship track about the transformative power of saying yes to God. The lyrics trace a journey from a teenager responding to God's call to a believer learning to surrender control and trust Him daily. The song emphasizes that a simple word of obedience opens up a new world of possibilities, brings joy, and allows God to work. It encourages listeners to step out in faith, let go of fear, and embrace the leap of faith that comes with saying yes to God's leading.

I heard you call me as a teenager
I could tell you were a game changer
I raised my hand, finally said amen
As a new page turned
Got me thinking how
If we broke it down maybe we could say
In the end all it really takes
Is a holy spark and yes in our heart
For a soul to be saved
Funny how a simple word opens up a whole new world
You open up a whole new world when I say...
Yes Lord (Yes!)
Yes Lord (Yes!)
I make room for you to do the things you do
When I say yes
So I say yes Lord (Yes Lord!)
Yes Lord (Yes!)
My soul comes alive and joy abides
When I say yes
So I say yes (Yes, Lord)
So I say yes (Yes, Lord)
When I'm tired and running outta rope
I'm reminded you're my only hope
The impossible is possible when I trust and let go
So I can either try to keep control
Or I can let you come steal the show
A leap of faith's just a word away
I go with your flow when I say...
Yes Lord (Yes!)
Yes Lord (Yes!)
I make room for you to do the things you do
When I say yes
So I say yes Lord (Yes Lord!)
Yes Lord (Yes!)
My soul comes alive and joy abides
When I say yes
So I say yes (Yes, Lord)
So I say yes (Yes, Lord)
Funny how a simple word opens up a whole new world
You open up a whole new world when I say...
Yes Lord (Yes Lord!)
Yes Lord (Yes Lord!)
I get to see so many beautiful things
When I say yes
I'll say yes Lord (Yes!)
Oh, yes Lord (Yes!)
I make room for you to do the things you do
When I say yes
So I say yes Lord (Yes Lord!)
Oh, yes Lord (Yes!)
My soul comes alive and joy abides
When I say yes
So I say yes (Yes, Lord)
So I say yes (Yes, Lord)
When you call me to step out
I won't look down
I won't freak out
No,the impossible becomes possible
The leap of faith is just one simple word away
Yes!
