I used to give in to anything my flesh wanted
I used to give in to everything my heart desired
Didn't matter if it hurt me
Didn't matter if it hurt you
If it made me happy
I did it
Regardless of the consequences
But then you stepped in and you opened my eyes
You gave me sight and helped me realize
I was headed for hell and the grave
And now through your grace I'm learning to say

I'm learning to say no-oh
To everything that'd put me in bondage
I'm learning to say no-oh
To everything that'd steal my soul
I'm learning to say no-oh to the world, the flesh, and the devil
To all that is worldly and evil
I'm learning to say no

I used to think I could live without consequences
And so I gave in every time I was tempted
Didn't matter what your word said
Didn't matter cause I thought that
I could get away with it
Yes I did
But there were repercussions
So then you stepped in and you opened my eyes
You saved my soul and you freed me from the lies
Oh I was headed for hell and the grave
And now through your grace I'm learning to say

I'm learning to say no-oh
To everything that'd put me in bondage
I'm learning to say no-oh
To everything that'd steal my soul
I'm learning to say no-oh to the world, the flesh, and the devil
To all that is worldly and evil
I'm learning to say no

No, no, I will not lie; I will not steal
No, no to temptations I'll not yield
No, no I say no to covetousness, lust,
And bitterness
No, no I choose to walk in holiness yes
No, no, I'll not lose my soul to selfishness
And if I stumble I'll repent and
Get back up again

I'm learning to say no-oh
To everything that'd put me in bondage
I'm learning to say no-oh
To everything that'd steal my soul
I'm learning to say no-oh to the world, the flesh, and the devil
To all that is worldly and evil
I'm learning to say no
& yes to Jesus Christ
