One last week!

Next week is our last week - singing at the CEC Mass, 6pm Saturday.

Rehearsal will be from 3pm starting in our regular room.


The verses will be split between soloists ("To the...") and the Young Voices ("I say 'Yes', my Lord") while everyone joins in the chorus. Some parts have been highlighted in green for soloists to pay particular attention as they are somewhat different.

Verse 1

To the God who cannot die,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
To the One who hears me cry,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
To the God of the oppressed,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
To the God of all that’s just,
I say "Yes", my Lord.

Chorus

I say "Yes", my Lord,
in all the good times,
through all the bad times.
I say "Yes", my Lord,
to every word You speak.

Verse 2

I'm a servant of the Lord,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
I'm a worker in the fields,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
I'm a pris’ner of their wars,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
Like a champion for Your cause
I say "Yes", my Lord. (CHORUS)

Verse 3

For the dream I have today,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
To be a healer of all pain,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
To come to love my enemies,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
For Your peace in all the world,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
(CHORUS)

Verse 4

Like Job, unceasingly,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
Like Mary, wholeheartedly,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
Like David in a song,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
Like Israel for You I long,
I say "Yes", my Lord.
(CHORUS)
