Who says, “Go,”
When your doubt wants to know there’s a signed guarantee?

Come on inside”?

And, “I promise you’ll never again be alone”?
If you ask me, “Oh yeah, well, who says?”
I’ll tell you: “The Spirit of God.”

When your fear says, “There’s no strength in my bones”?

When your pride says, “I can stand on my own”?
Who says, “You are alright,”
When the world says, “You are out of your mind”?
Who says, “You are all wrong,”
When your guilt is so strong that you feel left behind?
Who says, “All who are laboring, I’ll give you rest,”
And, “Give me your worst in exchange for my best”
And, “All who are bound, but who want to be free,”
“Come unto me”?
And who says, “I’ll write your story from first to last page,”
And, “I’ll be with you now to the end of the age”?
If you ask me, “Oh yeah, well, who says?”
I’ll you tell you: “The Spirit of God.”
Who says, “Just put it down.”
When your bitterness starts to complain?

Who says, “You should remember
When you were needing mercy from me”?
Who says, “You must forgive just as I forgave you,”
And, “Do unto others as you’d want them to,”
And, “Tell the whole world that I want them to know
I love them so”?
And who says, “I’ve given you a down payment of grace,
And, “I’ll give you the rest when we meet face-to-face”?
If you ask me, “Oh yeah, well, who says?”
If you ask me, “Oh yeah, well, who says?”
If you ask me, “Oh yeah, well, who says?”
I’ll tell you: “The Spirit of God.”
