Song Lyrics

---

I was your slave, you held the strings
You pushed and pulled, I did anything
In the dark you had me bound
Oh, so lost could not be found

But somehow He found me
Wrapped His mercy around me
And now you’ve come to see

That God said no, what you gonna do
God said no, He took me from you
God said no, He paid for me too
God said no, your evil reign is through
Because God said no

And now I’m free ‘cause He cut the strings
With love He asks and I do anything
In my heart He made a home
Suddenly I am never alone

You thought I had no way out
Thought I was yours beyond a doubt
But since then, oh, you’ve found out

That God said no, what you gonna do
God said no, He took me from you
God said no, He paid for me too
God said no, your evil reign is through
Because God said no

You can’t reach me now
I’m in His hands
Without your binds
Now I understand

You lied to me
You covered my eyes
But they are open
To your surprise

Because God said no, what you gonna do
God said no, He took me from you
God said no, He paid for me too
God said no, your evil reign is through
Because God said no
I’m not yours
Because God said no
You can’t have me
God said, “No!’
