This week’s featured song story comes to us from Vertical Worship. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Yes I Will.”
“Psalm 34 says ‘I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will continually be in my mouth.’ If we’re being honest with ourselves if we’re being honest about reality most often for us when we’re in a difficult circumstance or unfortunate situation we have the same attitude as my little boys at home, especially my 5 year old. He’s in that phase right now where he says ‘I don’t want to.’ Sometimes our attitude is so similar to that when it comes to praise, especially when things are difficult, when things are hard. My heart doesn’t feel like God is so good right now my soul feels uncertain about so many of the promises I’ve read in the bible. When I reach to try and praise I can’t find anything because my emotion is blocking my volition. My brain is getting in the way of my heart. When that moment arrives we have to choose whether we’re in the valley or on the mountaintop where our sight is not so fixed, when we can’t really make out what’s happening up ahead. We have to reach down past our emotion, past our intellect and say I choose to praise.” – Vertical Worship

“Yes I Will” Lyrics
I count on one thing
The same God that never fails
Will not fail me now
You won’t fail me now
In the waiting
The same God who’s never late
Is working all things out
You’re working all things out
Yes I will, lift You high in the lowest valley
Yes I will, bless Your name
Oh, yes I will, sing for joy when my heart is heavy
All my days, oh yes I will
I count on one thing
The same God that never fails
Will not fail me now
You won’t fail me now
In the waiting
The same God who’s never late
Is working all things out
Is working all things out
Oh, yes I will, lift You high in the lowest valley
Yes I will, bless Your name
Oh, yes I will, sing for joy when my heart is heavy
For all my days, oh yes I will
For all my days, oh yes, I will
And I choose to praise
To glorify, glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against
And I choose to praise
To glorify, glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against
And I choose to praise
To glorify, glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against
And I choose to praise
To glorify, to glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against
Oh, yes I will, lift You high in the lowest valley
Yes I will, bless Your name
Oh, yes I will, sing for joy when my heart is heavy
All my days, oh yes, I will
For all my days, oh yes, I will
For all my days, yes, I will
