Take You At Your Word

Take You at Your Word” is a contemporary Christian worship song by Cody Carnes. It was released in 2020 as part of his album “Run to the Father.” The song is known for its straightforward, faith-filled message and its emphasis on trusting God’s promises.—performed by the worship band of my home church, NorthBridge Church in Antioch.

Take You at Your Word” was written by Cody Carnes, along with his wife, Kari Jobe, and the songwriting duo of Michael W. Smith and Eddie Hoagland.


Your word is a lamp unto my feet
Your way is the only way for me

It’s a narrow road that leads to life
But I want to be on it
It’s a narrow road but the mercy’s wide
‘Cause You’re good on Your promise

Come on


Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

I’ll Take You At Your word
If You said it I’ll believe it
I’ve seen how good it works
If You start it You’ll complete it
I’ll Take You At Your word

Come on


Numbers 23:19, reminds us that God does not lie or change His mind.

You spoke and the chaos fell in line
Well, I know ’cause I’ve seen it in my life

It’s a narrow road that leads to life
But I want to be on it
It’s a narrow road and the tide is high
‘Cause You parted the water


God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites. Exodus 14:21-22

I’ll Take You At Your Word
If You said it I’ll believe it
I’ve seen how good it works
If You start it You’ll complete it
I’ll Take You At Your Word

I’ll Take You At Your Word
If You said it I’ll believe it
I’ve seen how good it works
If You start it You’ll complete it
I’ll Take You At Your Word

You’re good on Your promise
Yeah, I know
You’re good on Your promise


Genesis 9:12-17. The rainbow serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and His mercy toward humanity.

You said Your love would never give up
You said Your grace is always enough
You said Your heart would never forget or forsake me

Thank you, Lord


Romans 8:38-39, the Apostle Paul beautifully expresses that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

You said I’m saved, You call me Yours
You said my future’s full of Your hope
You’ve never failed so I know that You’ll never fail me

I say sing it again


In 1 John 3:1, it says, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God.

You said Your love would never give up
You said Your grace is always enough
You said Your heart would never forget or forsake me

Hallelujah


Psalm 136, where each verse ends with, “His love endures forever.”

You said I’m saved, You call me Yours
You said my future’s full of Your hope
You’ve never failed so I know that You’ll never fail me


Jeremiah 29:11, where He says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I’ll Take You At Your Word
If You said it I’ll believe it
I’ve seen how good it works
If You start it You’ll complete it
I’ll Take You At Your Word

I’ll Take You At Your Word
If You said it I’ll believe it
I’ve seen how good it works
If You start it You’ll complete it
I’ll Take You At Your Word


Philippians 1:6
“being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

‘Cause You’re good on Your promise
Oh, You’re good on Your promise

I’ll take You At Your Word

Let’s go

Hallelujah

      I completely understand how you feel. I felt the same way when I watched that worship, tears streaming down my face. The way they sang and the powerful words, “I’ll take you at your Word. If you said it, I believe it,” really struck me. It takes true faith to declare that.

      I just had to share this song with everyone here, so I included the lyrics for everyone to absorb along with some images.

      I give all the Glory and Praise to God for how He weaves everything together in such a beautiful way. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

      God Bless you today and always. You are always in my thoughts and Prayers.

        You have such a humble and beautiful spirit, brother. Many people live in the “shallows” (which there’s nothing wrong with that at times, we all need that). When you dig in the deep well of our souls–where Jesus lives, all of his love and emotions can’t help but spill out. That’s why I enjoy praising and swimming along with you and so many here in the depths of the Well of True Life! Faith. From the depths, we can live out our faith! No skimming—we’re soaking in it, brother! God bless you and yours!

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
