Matt Maher's song 'The Answer Is Yes' is a worship ballad about surrendering to God in the midst of suffering and doubt. The lyrics express turning to God when joy is overshadowed by sorrow, and finding that the consistent answer to life's questions is a wholehearted 'yes' to Him. The song emphasizes God's faithfulness through both good times and pain, and declares that nothing can separate the believer from God's love. It encourages trust and commitment, even when circumstances are difficult.

Where else can I turn
In these troubled times
When my joy is held by suffering
And sorrows last the night
The answer is yes, Lord
I'll give you my heart
The answer is yes, Lord
It's the only place to start
You've seen me through good times
You've held me through pain
You've heard all my questions
The answers the same
In the desert of my soul
Where else can I find
There's a reason to the promise
Of everlasting light
The answer is yes, Lord
I'll give you my heart
The answer is yes, Lord
It's the only place to start
You've seen me through good times
You've held me through pain
You've heard all my questions
The answers the same
It doesn't change
No it doesn't change
Oh
Lord nothing comes between us
Lord nothing comes between us
And nothing ever will
Lord nothing comes between us
Lord nothing comes between us
And nothing ever will
Lord nothing comes between us
Lord nothing comes between us
And nothing ever will
Lord nothing comes between us
Lord nothing comes between us
And nothing ever will
